Committee approves multiple facility and software contracts, renewals and design work
Summary
The committee approved lifecycle network hardware for Building C, a software implementation addendum with Clarity, construction and architect contracts for parks and fire station projects, and several contract renewals for pest control, janitorial supplies and elevator maintenance; staff also reviewed budget and sales tax reports.
The Management and Internal Services Committee on May 12 approved a range of facility‑level purchases, contract renewals and design agreements.
Mr. Blanchard presented a lifecycle purchase to replace network equipment in Building C and associated fiber work. He said the combined cost would be $294,540.76 and that funding would come from the account referenced in the transcript as "Splast." "The cost will be $278,340.76 [for equipment] ... and ... $16,200 [for fiber]," he said, and staff recommended approval.
Mr. Blanchard also briefed a professional services addendum to have Clarity, the permitting software vendor, take over implementation after the county and Clarity agreed to terminate the previous implementer, Unicus. He said the change should not require additional county funds beyond the original project budget, apart from $313 that he said would be covered from available funds.
The committee also approved construction and design awards presented by Mr. Pra: Summers Construction LLC was recommended for two park restroom projects (Evanstown Center Park and Racket Center) with a low bid of $853,165 funded from park upgrade project Splass 1722; Craig Golden Davis with PBK was selected for Fire Station 13 design for $260,650; and Booker Vic Architects was recommended to design a replacement facility for the Vice and Narcotics Unit with a design fee presented as 8.5% of the planned construction budget.
Routine contract renewals were approved as part of consent actions: a third and final renewal with Northwest Exterminating for county pest control (the transcript contained a garbled numeric amount and did not provide a clear dollar figure); a renewal with Camo for janitorial supplies (budgeted at about $70,000 annually); an Otis Elevator Company renewal budgeted at $64,000 covering 35 elevators; and continued availability of move‑management vendors (ADSI and Elogic) for departmental moves. The transcript records motions moved, seconded and accepted by voice consent.
In staff reports, Miss Reese said the year‑to‑date budget (month ended April 30) should be operating around 83% of budget and that March sales tax receipts totaled just over $3.2 million; she noted annualized collections were roughly flat and that March's check was 15% greater than the prior month but slightly down year‑over‑year, possibly reflecting normalization after the event "Helen." The committee received an investment summary for March and adjourned at 8:50 a.m.
Several dollar amounts and one numeric line in the transcript were unclear or garbled; the final contract files should be consulted for exact figures and contract terms.
