Upper Allen approves one-year IT services contract with Appalachia Technologies
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 1121 for revised purchasing guidelines and voted to award a master services agreement to Appalachia Technologies LLC: one-year term, $9,048.25 onboarding fee and about $9,897.80/month estimated; police IT provider remains separate.
The Upper Allen Township Board of Commissioners approved revised purchasing guidelines (Resolution 1121) and authorized a master services agreement with Appalachia Technologies LLC to provide township-wide information-technology services.
Finance director Zach Harvey recommended Appalachia in a written memorandum included in the packet, citing municipal experience, cybersecurity capability and integrated services. The contract described in the memorandum includes a one-time discovery and onboarding fee of $9,048.25 and an anticipated monthly cost of approximately $9,897.80, with an initial one-year term and one-year renewals thereafter.
Commissioners asked about transition logistics and continuity: the police department will retain its current IT provider independently; township staff and the selected vendor will coordinate transition activities with the incumbent to avoid service interruptions. The board voted to adopt the master services agreement as presented.
No dollar appropriation amendment was recorded at the meeting; the board noted the monthly estimate is subject to final discovery and server-account reconciliation.
