Summary

Franklin County procurement recommended awarding preventive-maintenance services for county UPS systems to United Power Systems, the lowest of five bidders at $19,200; references were checked and the board approved the award by voice vote.

Franklin County’s procurement director recommended awarding a countywide preventive-maintenance contract for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems to United Power Systems, the lowest of five bidders at $19,200.

Robin Harmon, introduced as the county procurement director, told commissioners the county opened five bids and that references for United Power Systems were positive. A commissioner asked whether the recommended vendor was the incumbent; Harmon said they are not — the incumbent was a firm called Jantek — and that United Power Systems has a strong reputation and sufficient presence to serve the county.

A motion to approve the recommendation was moved and seconded and the board approved the contract by voice vote. The transcript records the recommendation, discussion and adoption but does not include a roll-call vote or individual vote tally.
