Town of Clayton council selects Jamieson Consulting for IT services
Loading...
Summary
The council voted to hire Jamieson Consulting for managed IT services after comparing three bids; members cited cost and continuity, and staff will finalize contract terms with the vendor.
The Town of Clayton council voted to contract Jamieson Consulting to provide managed IT services after reviewing three proposals and discussing costs, audit fees and contract length.
Jamieson Consulting offered no audit fee and proposed a $500 monthly service fee with a 60-day cancellation provision, according to council discussion. Another bidder, C2IT Consulting, proposed a $1,500 audit fee and could not provide a firm monthly rate until after performing the audit; a third proposer offered a pricing structure presented as $1,019 monthly on a 36-month contract.
Council member (S4) moved to select Jamieson Consulting and said the choice was driven by price. Jenny (Clerk/Treasurer) seconded the motion; the motion passed by voice vote and the Chair announced the town would proceed with Jamieson Consulting. The council did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
Why it matters: the chosen vendor will manage security, software updates, remote access, and device administration for municipal systems and police vehicles. Speakers noted the need to protect sensitive town data and prevent incidents similar to a reported hack at another office.
Next steps: staff will finalize contract details with Jamieson Consulting and proceed to implement the managed services plan.
