Pacific County waives bidding requirement to buy walk‑through metal detector for South District Court
Summary
The county adopted Resolution No. 2025-025, invoking RCW 39.04.080 to waive competitive bidding and authorize purchase of a Garrett Paragon walk‑through metal detector for $9,156 (including tax and freight) to be paid from the risk management fund (531).
At a special meeting April 29, the Pacific County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 2025-025 to waive competitive bidding under RCW 39.04.080 and purchase a Garrett Paragon walk‑through metal detector for the South District Court.
A committee member moved to adopt the resolution and approve payment of $9,156 (including sales tax and freight) to Garrett Electronics Incorporated, to be paid from the county's risk management fund (number 531). The motion cited RCW 39.04.080 and the county procurement policy and was seconded by the chair. The motion carried by recorded vocal ayes in the transcript.
Another committee member said the unit is intended for the South District Court, noting recent safety issues there, and described the unit as a portable model that can be wheeled into place and stored when not needed: "This is for South District Court. They've had some potential, safety issues down there ... I believe is on wheels, so they can actually wheel it in and move it out of the way when needed." The committee member and chair agreed immediate purchase was appropriate.
The resolution waiving competition and the purchase amount were recorded in the motion; the transcript does not include a roll-call showing every member's vote by name.
