Commission approves SWAT building bids, CivicPlus ADA contract and a package of county purchases
Summary
The St. Clair County Commission authorized bids for a Sheriff's SWAT storage building, approved a CivicPlus ADA website/mobile accessibility contract (prorated $21,439.50), created a temporary GIS position, and approved multiple equipment and service purchases and renewals.
The St. Clair County Commission approved a series of procurement and administrative actions during its meeting, including authorization for the sheriff to let bids on a SWAT storage building, approval of an ADA web and mobile accessibility contract, and several equipment and service purchases.
On a voice vote commissioners "authorized the sheriff to let it be for the SWAT Storage Building" at the Road Department campus to store SWAT assets and trailers; the Chair said renderings and general specifications were available and the motion passed. The commission also approved a one-year renewal of a marketing contract for the sheriff (amount reported in the transcript as "2,009, $995" and not specified precisely in roll-call minutes) and a fiscal action to accept a CivicPlus contract prorated at $21,439.50 to bring county web and mobile platforms into compliance with new ADA accessibility rules; the Chair noted the CivicPlus contract will require a budget amendment.
Revenue Commissioner Ken Crow asked to create a part-time, temporary GIS position at pay grade 10 pending county-attorney review; commissioners approved the position by voice vote to build a training pool for future GIS vacancies. The commission also approved purchase and service items: surplus and disposal of a DesignJet printer (reappraisal proceeds to return to the reappraisal fund), purchase of an RJ Young copier for the Pell City Sheriff's Office ($12,696.70 and a $9-per-month service plan), a tiered service agreement for the HP DesignJet Z6 mapping plotter, and a $7,650 in-house carpet purchase for relocation of county services to a building in Pell City.
Asset manager Ashley Hay recommended hiring Southern Cleaning Services Inc. to provide deep restroom cleanings (about $550 per visit as needed); commissioners approved that recommendation. The commission also directed the property manager to hire an electrician to prepare specifications for new generators for central dispatch/operation center and the coroner's office so the county can determine size and cost and, if necessary, bid out the work.
Chair and staff said the various purchases and contracts had been reviewed by tech and finance staff where appropriate, and several motions included budget-amendment language when the item required additional appropriation. Several approvals were carried by unanimous voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
