Board authorizes bids for insurance and real-estate book scanning ahead of records move
Summary
Knox County authorized 'bid and bring back' solicitations for employee health/life/dental/vision insurance and for scanning/indexing real-estate books to assess statutory retention needs prior to moving records to 50 E. Main.
The board authorized the county to solicit bids for Health/Life/Dental/Vision insurance and separately to solicit bids to scan and index the county’s real-estate books. Vice-Chair Brian Friedrich said the scanning project would first cover books the county must keep by statute and then evaluate additional, older volumes that might not require permanent retention.
The action was presented as a 'bid and bring back' to gather pricing and options rather than to award contracts at this meeting. Board members discussed potential savings from digitization to reduce moving costs and long-term preservation concerns for aging records.
