Cheatham County approves vendor contracts and surplus disposals, including copier leases and medical-waste and design contracts
Summary
The commission authorized the mayor to sign copier contracts with BBE/Leaf Capital for library and election offices, approved a BioWaste LLC contract for EMS medical-waste services, authorized a design contract with architect Joshua A. Wright, and approved surplus/disposal of a 2016 Ford van and outdated camera systems.
Cheatham County commissioners on May 20 approved several agreements and authorized surplus and disposition of county equipment.
Contracts: The commission authorized the County Mayor to sign contracts for copier equipment and a maintenance agreement with Better Business Equipment (BBE) and Leaf Capital for the Cheatham County Public Library and Election Commission. The body also approved a contract with BioWaste LLC to provide regulated medical-waste management services for County EMS, and approved a design contract with architect Joshua A. Wright for the county maintenance building design (contract uses AIA B101 format and was included in the meeting packet).
Surplus and disposition: The commission approved surplus and disposition of a 2016 Ford van used by the Cheatham County Jail (VIN 1FTBW2ZM4GKA97341, mileage listed) to be donated to Humphreys County, and authorized the sale of Watchguard car- and body-camera systems and related equipment on GovDeals with proceeds deposited into the Jail Fund.
Votes and procedure: Each of these items was approved by roll-call vote (typically 8 Yes, 0 No with four absentees recorded in the minutes). The motions were presented by the County Mayor and moved by commissioners including Diana Lovell and Bill Powers.
Why it matters: The copier and maintenance contracts and EMS waste contract update and ensure operational continuity for county services. The surplus approvals move obsolete equipment out and monetize assets for the Jail Fund or arrange donation when appropriate. The architect contract sets the county's design path for a maintenance building project discussed elsewhere on the agenda.
Next steps: The mayor will execute the contracts and county staff will coordinate vendor deliveries, set up maintenance agreements and proceed with planned disposals via GovDeals or transfers (as recorded).
