Board approves nine Board of Bids and Contracts recommendations, including vehicle purchases and IT contracts
Summary
The commission approved nine bid‑board recommendations including a change order for title search services, public works paving projects, vehicle purchases (sedans and crossovers), facility assessment services, marketing services for aging and disabilities, and public‑safety equipment contracts via Omnia/Omni Partners.
Joe Thomas, Purchasing Director, presented nine Board of Bids and Contracts recommendations and asked the commission to approve them. Highlights included a change order for tax foreclosure title search services; a public‑works 'high density seal' project awarded to Andale Incorporated for $88,497.28; facility assessment and planning services with Terracon; vehicle purchases for fleet management and the sheriff’s office (approximately $272,000 for four‑door sedans and $114,600 for small/midsize 4‑wheel‑drive crossovers); and IT and public‑safety purchasing through cooperative contracts (CDW Government LLC and Safeware Inc. via Omnia/Omni Partners).
Commissioners questioned a January contract extension and a subsequent change order price increase; Purchasing and Fleet staff explained timing and specification constraints. Fleet Manager Beau Bergeron said procurement specifications are kept broad to allow competition and that recent reliability issues with certain models pre‑2018 have been largely addressed. The board unanimously approved the recommendations and directed staff to finalize contracts.
