Commission approves bids, contracts and staffing moves including SWAT storage bid authorization and ADA website contract
Summary
The St. Clair County Commission authorized bids for a sheriff SWAT storage building, approved a temporary GIS position and approved several procurement items, including a CivicPlus ADA website accessibility contract and purchases for sheriff’s office equipment.
The St. Clair County Commission on voice votes authorized bids for a SWAT storage building at the Road Department campus, approved a part-time temporary GIS position, and approved multiple vendor contracts and purchases.
Chair (S1) moved and the commission approved allowing the sheriff to solicit bids for a SWAT storage building to store SWAT assets and trailers. The meeting record shows the motion carried by voice vote. The commission also approved Revenue Commissioner Ken Crow’s request to create a part-time temporary GIS position (pay grade 10) pending county attorney review, intended to allow cross-training and build a candidate pool for future vacancies.
On procurement, the commission approved a CivicPlus contract for ADA Title II web and mobile accessibility in a prorated amount of $21,439.50 and approved purchasing a new copier for the Pell City Sheriff’s Office from RJ Young for $12,696.70 with a $9-per-month service plan. The county approved a service agreement with RJ Young for an HP Designjet Z6 mapping plotter at $300 per year plus usage-based charges. The commission also approved a deep-cleaning contract with Southern Cleaning Services Inc. at $550 per service and authorized a $7,650 in-house carpet purchase for the county building formerly known as the New Zegis Building in Bell City.
The commission approved renewing a marketing contract requested by the sheriff for one year; the dollar amount stated in the meeting record was garbled in the transcript and requires clarification in official minutes. Commissioners also authorized an agreement to split half of reimbursements received from the Alabama Department of Corrections with the sheriff to replace funds lost after an FCC rule change affecting jail telecommunication reimbursements.
Most items carried on unanimous voice votes and were described by commissioners as routine operational matters that required budget amendments where noted.
