Lancaster County approves multiple contracts: Cellebrite software, resurfacing award and grants for enforcement and wildlife services
Summary
The county approved a Cellebrite forensic‑extraction software contract not to exceed $123,800, awarded resurfacing contracts for West Denton Road and Southwest 12th Street (approximately $1.85M reported), accepted a no‑cost NDOT mini grant for breath test kits, and approved a Wildlife Services plan for about $12,955.
The Lancaster County Board of Commissioners approved several procurement and grant actions Tuesday, ranging from law‑enforcement technology to road resurfacing and wildlife services.
The board authorized a contract with Cellebrite Inc. for a universal forensic extraction device software package for the sheriff's department not to exceed $123,800 (contract amount stated in the agenda). Commissioners also approved a mini grant from the Nebraska Department of Transportation to supply six preliminary breath testing kits to the sheriff's office at no cost to the county.
On capital maintenance, the purchasing agent recommended—and the board approved—awarding a mill‑and‑fill resurfacing contract to Constructors Incorporated for work on West Denton Road and Southwest 12th Street. County Engineer office representative Larry Leancast explained the work involves milling out two to four inches of existing pavement, trench widening to add two‑foot shoulders and addressing delamination where necessary; the transcript reports the contract amount roughly as $1.85 million.
The board also approved a cooperative service agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (Wildlife Services) for the Wildlife Damage Management Program, cost not to exceed $12,955.31.
Commissioners emphasized competitive pricing on bids and the safety benefits of shoulder widening. All items passed by roll‑call votes.
