Elko County E911 board recommends county review of $641,821 console upgrade
Summary
The Elko County Enhanced 9‑1‑1 Board voted to recommend that the County Commission review vendor quotes for new dispatch consoles and furniture, including a $641,821.60 Zetron 6‑position system and an Evans furniture quote; the board noted a quote expiration concern and asked staff to complete procurement documentation.
The Elko County Enhanced 9‑1‑1 Board voted on Oct. 2 to recommend that the Elko County Commission review vendor quotes to replace dispatch consoles and install associated console furniture.
The chair summarized the largest bid, saying, “So that is the total was $641,821.60 for 6 positions.” A committee member moved to recommend the Zetron console quote and an Evans furniture quote to the County Commission; Chief Kyle Ward seconded the motion. The board voted by voice to forward the procurement recommendation to the County Commission.
Board discussion focused on ensuring fiscal and state purchasing requirements were met before County Commission action. One member noted an apparent quote expiration date that had passed; the chair said staff would address any pricing changes and explain them to the commission if necessary. The chair also noted the Zetron quote includes annual service fees for years one through five in the original purchase.
The recommendation asks the County Commission to review the Zetron 6‑position total and the Evans furniture quote; the board did not finalize a purchase at the meeting and directed staff to complete required fiscal documentation and any additional competitive quotes as needed.
The board’s action was on a motion to forward the quotes; there was no separate procurement approval recorded at the meeting. The County Commission will receive the staff packet and the board’s recommendation for its consideration.
