County OKs multi‑year contracts for community portal, public‑safety platform and maintenance system
Summary
Staff recommended multi‑year contracts for Neighborly community portal ($192,000 over five years), an amendment to Central Square Technologies for public‑safety IT (total not‑to‑exceed $1,362,533.19), and a Brightly CMMS contract (three years, $318,767.42). The items followed competitive processes and expanded use across departments.
Community Economic Development Director Kirby Robinson presented a five‑year contract award to Benevate LLC d/b/a Neighborly Software as the low responsive bidder for the county's community portal application, with a total not‑to‑exceed price of $192,000 over five years for 16 licenses. Robinson said multiple departments use the platform (community grants, ARPA, code enforcement, rehab programs) and that bidding a longer term produced more predictable pricing.
Sheriff's Office representatives then requested an amendment to the contract with Central Square Technologies for the 1Solution law‑enforcement platform to increase the not‑to‑exceed total by about $29,000 to $1,362,533.19 to cover expanded use and additional IT/support costs; staff said the additional funding was included in the continuation budget. Deputy General Services Director Chelsea Swaim presented a separate contract to Brightly (Bridal Software Inc) for a computerized maintenance management system (three years, not to exceed $318,767.42) following competitive bidding.
Board members asked practical questions about implementation, training and vendor support; staff said the county's existing use of Neighborly reduces transition friction and that departments will coordinate training. These items were presented for authorization or award; the briefing did not record final vote tallies.
