Committee approves cloud migration for county fuel system and a $162K contract
Summary
Ulster County authorized a cloud migration for its fuel management system to remove vendor access to in‑house infrastructure and approved a $161,978.46 Syntech Systems contract, citing cybersecurity and tracking benefits.
Ulster County's Public Works committee approved a move to a cloud‑hosted fuel management system and authorized a $161,978.46 contract with Syntech Systems to implement the upgrade.
Commissioner Masterson said the county's existing vendor is upgrading to a subscription model that will separate vendor access from county infrastructure and reduce a cybersecurity exposure. "Taking this out of our internal IS system reduces the risk of vendor access to our machines," he said.
Members asked whether decarbonization funds could be used because the change improves tracking of fuel usage. Deputy Executive LaValle and DPW staff said the migration itself will not directly reduce fuel consumption; it provides better data that could support later efficiency work. The committee approved both the capital project amendment to allow the cloud migration and the Syntech Systems contract unanimously.
