Committee approves batch of vendor renewals, a small loan to nonprofit and several service contracts
Summary
The Management and Internal Services Committee on June 9 approved multiple routine contract renewals and a one‑year loan arrangement to a local nonprofit, including insurance, uniform rental and several technology and infrastructure vendor renewals, all moved to consent and approved.
The Management and Internal Services Committee approved a slate of routine contract renewals and a one‑year loan agreement during its June 9 meeting.
Mr. Kennedy presented a five‑year renewal of the county’s retirement plan agreement with Mission Square, calling it "a five‑year renewal agreement with our retirement plan provider," and moved the item to the consent agenda with a reservation that Chairman Duncan review HR matters when available. Financial staff recommended approval of a one‑year loan/renewal for Columbia County Community Connections for fiscal year 2027: the agreement was described as $21,000 with a $9,000 fee for use of funds, to run July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027.
Finance staff also presented renewal of the county’s ACCG property and liability insurance for FY2027. Staff said coverage levels remain the same while the net county contribution increased 21.46%; a safety discount credit of $66,398 was applied and the net contribution was reported as $1,396,159. Staff noted the chairman must sign the contribution worksheet by July 1.
Other consent items approved included a new 12‑month uniform rental services agreement with CentOS Corporation using Omnia cooperative pricing (with most departmental rates reported lower under the new contract), and a set of technology and infrastructure vendor renewals (A3 Communications, SMS, Wired Communications, Net Planner, AIOS Group, CTI, HARP Engineering, Fred Daniel Mapping Services, TOPS and Electriccom) presented by technology services staff. Most of those renewals were described as on‑call or no fixed annual amount; staff recommended continued vendor relationships to support camera systems, cabling, audiovisual services, mapping and broadband construction.
Facility services presented and the committee approved a fourth and final renewal with Coastal Waste and Recycling of Georgia LLC for refuse services with an approximate 5% increase (described as roughly $5,000–$6,000). The committee also approved an independent contractor agreement with Penn Roofing to replace a 15‑year shingled roof at the Columbia County Health Department for $71,763; staff said Penn was the lowest responsive bidder.
All items were moved to consent and approved without roll‑call votes recorded in the transcript. The committee adjourned at 9:05 a.m.
What’s next: Funding for several items was identified as coming from departmental operating budgets; staff will proceed with contract signatures and procurement steps as appropriate.
