Monroe County approves $2.29 million in claims, Microsoft renewal and multiple building repairs
Summary
At its April 2 meeting, the Monroe County Board of Commissioners approved a $2,293,196.80 claims and payroll docket, a $234,333.36 Microsoft licensing renewal and several capital and repair contracts for county buildings including chiller and HVAC work at the Justice Building.
The Monroe County Board of Commissioners on April 2 approved the claims and payroll dockets totaling $2,293,196.80 and a series of procurement and repair contracts for county operations.
The board voted to approve the claims docket of $1,803,821.73 and payroll items that brought the grand total to $2,293,196.80; the motion passed with a unanimous voice vote recorded as "20 to zero." The board then approved a Microsoft licensing renewal from cumulative capital fund 1138 for $234,333.36 to cover desktop and server operating systems, the county’s Microsoft 365 environment and related add-ons. County staff said some court and back-end systems require Microsoft integration and that they had requested a second vendor review of licensing needs.
Richard Crider, Monroe County Building and Fleet, asked the board to approve $10,355 to repair Justice Building chiller No. 2, describing failed and leaking pressure transducers and associated component replacements. "This request is to approve the necessary repairs to the Justice Building Chiller in the amount of $10,355," Crider said, detailing replacement of transducers, oil filter and gaskets, and a system recharge. The motion passed unanimously.
The board also approved a $26,985 HVAC control system upgrade and a $7,745 fan-coil unit replacement at the Justice Building intended to replace aging control components and integrate upgraded controllers into supervisory software. Staff described the work as an expansion of an ongoing project to modernize variable-air-volume devices in the prosecutor’s office.
Other routine procurement approvals included corrections and additions to the county copier fleet ($13,459.20) and a change order of $3,840 for the Showers hardscape permeable paver installation. Multiple on-call service agreements for park and facilities maintenance, including seal-coating and HVAC/plumbing emergency services, were approved under not-to-exceed caps.
The board concluded the agenda items by approving each motion by voice vote, typically recorded as unanimous; next steps are execution of vendor agreements and scheduling the contracted work.
