Technology Committee approves routine IT contracts, travel and service renewals
Summary
At its May 5, 2026 meeting the Technology Committee approved multiple procurement contracts, travel authorizations and service renewals—covering Accela software, network security licensing, signal-system support, wired services, cable and pharmacy software—by voice vote; a staff member said the county licenses roughly 500 remote devices per day.
The Technology Committee convened at 11:00 a.m. on May 5, 2026, to consider routine procurement and administrative items and approved a slate of contracts, travel authorizations and renewals by voice vote.
The chair opened the meeting, established a physical quorum and moved through the agenda. The committee approved minutes from the April 7, 2026 meeting (agenda item 26-1255) without correction. The panel then approved TE-P-A-26, a one-year annual subscription with Accela Inc. for Accela Velocimo Connect Enterprise for Bluebeam to support building and zoning, public works, stormwater and transportation for June 23, 2026–June 22, 2027, at a contract total not to exceed $34,720.81.
The committee approved 26-1195, a purchase order to SHI International Corp. for web-based iBoss network security and remote-worker support for information technology (June 17, 2026–June 16, 2029) for $19,979.19. During that item Member You asked how many remote workers the county licenses; a staff member identified only as Joe said the county licenses devices and that the daily maximum is about 500 but usually fewer, explaining the licensing covers devices rather than fixed individual users.
Two travel authorizations (26-1334 and 26-1336) were approved to send a GIS staff member to the ESRI User Conference in San Diego July 12–17, 2026; each authorization included estimated travel costs of $3,029 (hotel, mileage, per diem). The committee also received and placed on file an AT&T wired-services purchase order for the sheriff's office (JPS-P-22-26) with a total not to exceed $425,000 and an amendment to purchase order 7282 (JPS-CO-4-26) to increase encumbrance by $23,000 for a new total not to exceed $315,200, both accepted as informational items.
Other approvals included DT-P-29-26, a purchase order to Parsons Transportation Group Inc. for central signal system network support services for up to $210,000; 26-1124, a Comcast Cable purchase order for cable services at DuPage Care Center locations for $21,000 (June 1, 2026–May 31, 2027, second of three renewal options); and 26-1261, a RedSail Technologies LLC purchase order for pharmacy data systems software and maintenance not to exceed $20,000 (May 1, 2026–April 30, 2027). Motions were typically moved by Member Childress and seconded (variously by Member You, the recorder's office, or Member Eckhoff), and each item was approved by voice vote.
There were no public comments. The chair entertained a motion to adjourn after the items were approved, and the meeting ended.
Votes and procedural notes: the transcript records items approved by voice vote with the chair calling for assent and members responding “Aye.” No roll-call vote tallies are recorded in the transcript.
