Commission to consider bids for forensic software, vaccine systems and large fire apparatus; payment deferred until delivery
Summary
Staff previewed five bid-board items including a forensic software sole-source, Office 365 renewal, cable-installation contracts, vaccine-tracking software and vaccine acquisition; separate fire bid-board items include orders for tanker and pumper engines, with payments not expected until delivery in about four years.
Staff summarized several procurement items the commission will see on the agenda, including technology and public-health purchases as well as expensive fire apparatus orders that will be placed now but paid upon delivery years later.
On the bid board, staff described a sole-source forensic-software platform for the sheriff's ICAC unit (vendor name referenced verbally), an Office 365 renewal for county IT, and a competitive award for on-call data-drop cable installation assigned to multiple firms for a two-year term with extensions. The county also plans to renew TruMed Accuvax AccuShelf vaccine-tracking software and acquire vaccines through a joint government purchase contract with Atlantic Health Partners.
Fire-department items include multiple apparatus purchases — a tanker and two pumper engines among the listed equipment. Finance staff said the county is authorizing orders now to freeze price, but that at least the two larger pieces likely will not require payments until they are received in approximately four years.
