Purpose

To authorized the LRE Dept to use the MIS Carryforward funding for the purchase of radio equipment for use by the Parks

Background

Background: The Parks service area of the Land Resources and Environment Department manages 18 different parks and properties throughout Sauk County. Numerous parks and properties have little to no cellular service due to their locations. With park staff working without cellular phones across Sauk County, and for the safety of staff and park users, the Land Resources and Environment Department desires to purchase radio equipment. The purchase of radio equipment will allow for stronger communication between staff and emergency personnel, without staff having to rely on use of personal cellular phones for County use. Staff received quotes for the radio equipment, which totals approximately $21,780.

Resolution Body

            NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors, met in regular session, that the purchase of radio equipment for a total not to exceed $26,843, hereby be accepted; and,

 

            BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Land Resources and Environment Department Director is hereby delegated the authority to enter into any contracts or agreements related to the purchase, configuration, and ongoing support of this equipment, subject to Sauk County’s contract review policies.

 

For consideration by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors on July 21, 2020.
