Board approves firewall purchase and final road contract voucher; routine approvals carried
Summary
The Clay County Board approved a $93,037 firewall purchase (High Point Networks) funded from technology and internal services funds, and approved a final contract voucher of $1,846,671.44 for a mill‑and‑overlay road project; several routine agenda items and minutes were also approved.
During its May 5 meeting, the Clay County Board of Commissioners approved a set of administrative purchases and contract actions.
Technology request: County technology staff presented three firewall quotes and recommended the low bid from High Point Networks for $93,037. The board approved the purchase; county staff said funding would come from $83,037 in the 2026 Technology Services Fund and $10,000 from the internal services fund. County staff said the firewalls will better handle increased bandwidth provided by the Minnesota IT service, and separating criminal‑justice traffic will help CJIS compliance.
