Commissioners approve Toughbooks, turnkey Tahoe and software support; select BGE Inc. for route study negotiations
Summary
The court approved grouped items 37–40: Panasonic Toughbooks for constables, a turnkey Tahoe (vehicle + upfitting) for Precinct 3 constable, a negotiated RFQ selection of BGE Inc. for a route study, and annual Southern Software support renewals. Item 39 was amended to select BGE for negotiations.
The court took items 37–40 together and approved them as amended. Jamie (speaker 9) described item 37 as an order for Panasonic Toughbook laptops for constable offices (four units each), item 38 as a turnkey Tahoe for Constable Precinct 3 that includes equipment and installation, item 39 as a request for qualifications for a route study with a recommendation to negotiate with BGE Inc., and item 40 as the annual renewal of Southern Software support agreements for the sheriff's office.
Jamie told the court the Tahoe package includes the vehicle plus equipment and installation and that "the Tahoe is actually in stock," which would speed delivery, while the equipment would be ordered and completed through the outfitting process. On item 39 the court amended the item on the floor to accept the committee's recommendation to negotiate with BGE Inc., and commissioners then approved items 37–40 with the amendment.
The record shows the turnkey Tahoe package was described in-court as approximately $90,000 for the vehicle and upfitting; Jamie confirmed the price includes equipment and upfitting. The Southern Software renewals were described as routine annual support (multiple separate agreements). The votes carried with no recorded opposition.
