Board approves $3,484 UPS/circuit isolation work for county IT
Summary
IT coordinator Jeff Butler told commissioners a quote of $3,484 would isolate critical server/dispatch circuits from a problematic large UPS; the board approved the Hedland Electric quote and were briefed on a short, coordinated outage during switchover.
IT Coordinator Jeff Butler presented a quote from Hedland Electric to isolate critical IT circuits (server room, dispatch/console room and radio room) from a large battery backup that contributed to earlier outage problems. Butler said isolating those circuits onto separate generator-backed circuits and removing the short‑duration UPS dependency would improve reliability; the quote was $3,484 and the board approved the work not to exceed that amount.
Butler warned there would be short, coordinated outages during the switchover and said the vendor's work will be billed separately for any additional time not included in the scope; the transcript records staff will coordinate the work with affected departments before implementation.
