Committee approves split award for ballot printing and absentee‑by‑mail processing
Summary
DeKalb’s operations committee approved a split award for emergency/provisional ballot printing and absentee‑by‑mail services; staff said one vendor will print emergency and provisional ballots and the other will process absentee‑by‑mail ballots, for a combined not‑to‑exceed amount of $121,297.50.
The committee approved a procurement (ITB 26065, item 261238) to secure emergency/provisional ballot printing and absentee‑by‑mail processing services for voter registration and elections, with the recommended award split between two vendors and a combined not‑to‑exceed amount of $121,297.50.
An elections department representative explained the award was split so that one vendor will handle printing of emergency and provisional (paper) ballots while the other will process absentee‑by‑mail ballots. The presenter said this arrangement assigns printing responsibility for emergency and provisional ballots to the first vendor and absentee‑by‑mail processing to the second. The chair asked commissioners to share questions about court rulings and executive orders offline and noted the county attorney could advise whether an executive session is required to discuss legal questions.
The committee approved the award by voice vote after a motion from a commissioner and a second.
