Board approves Mercury Systems upgrade invoice and additional expense items
Summary
The board approved Mercury System Corporation invoice #21187 for $175,725.20 plus additional Mercury and Alpha Prime charges after a member asked that future packets itemize line items; the motion passed 4-0.
The board approved a package of expense invoices that included Mercury System Corporation invoice #21187 for $175,725.20 and additional charges of $4,965.45 (Mercury) and $5,872.38 (Alpha Prime).
The chair called the item and noted the Mercury charge was the annual, top-to-bottom upgrade for the communications center. A staff presenter said the upgrade is performed yearly and replaces needed equipment: "this is the yearly upgrade that's performed every year by Mercury, where they come in top to bottom, replace needed equipment," the presenter said.
A committee member asked that future expense packets list items separately rather than presenting a consolidated total. The secretary offered to add a memo listing the invoices to future packets: "I can include a memo, detailing listing the invoices...and I can include that in the packet," the secretary said.
A motion to approve the consolidated expense report as presented was made, seconded and approved by roll call, recorded as 4-0 in favor. The board did not debate alternatives to the vendor procurement in the meeting.
The board moved on to its next agenda item.
