Lancaster County approves $500,000 expansion for CJIS platform, renews major supplier contracts
Summary
On March 10, 2026, the Lancaster County Board approved a $500,000 increase to the City-County CJIS platform contract and voted to renew or award multiple procurement contracts for salt, tires, uniforms and maintenance services, citing supply concerns and project phases.
On March 10, 2026, the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners approved an amendment to the City-County CJIS platform contract with Don’t Panic Labs LLC that increases expenditures by $500,000 and authorizes additional project phases. The amendment was included among the consent items the Board approved by a 4-0 vote.
The amendment appears in a list of consent contract renewals and changes that the Board approved as a package. The consent package also included renewals and amendments for road maintenance and facility supplies: a renewal with Blackstrap Inc. for road salt (not to exceed $558,000), an amendment with Rose Equipment Inc. for asphalt crack repair materials (not to exceed $60,000), and a contract renewal with Culligan of Lincoln for water softener salt (not to exceed $6,108). The Board approved the consent items unanimously (Commissioners Flowerday, Vest, Johnson and Chair Yoakum voting yes; Commissioner Matt Schulte absent).
County Engineer Pam Dingman said the Board’s procurement strategy for vehicle and tire services reflects rising prices and supply risks. “The cost of tires has increased and using multiple vendors helps address potential shortages and distributes business among local companies,” Dingman said.
Also on the consent list, the Board awarded multiple contracts for tires, tubes and tire repair services (the combined contract cap is $125,000) and recommended awards for auto and light-truck repairs (combined not to exceed $150,000). Those contracts were described as providing access to specialty repairs the county shop cannot always complete.
Separately, the Board approved a three-year order with Traliant Operating LLC for online compliance training at $15,813 per year; Commissioner Rick Vest said he was “impressed with the Traliant training and believed the messages delivered to employees are important and valuable.”
The Board carried all consent items and vendor contracts by roll-call votes recorded in the minutes; the actions take effect under the terms specified in each contract.
