RE: Approval of the request to increase vendor spending for Sentinel Technologies to $75,000.00 for the fiscal year ending 2027 to provide additional door access and camera locations in various Genesee County buildings; the cost of this purchase order will be paid from the accounts listed
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of the request to increase vendor spending for Sentinel Technologies to $75,000
BACKGROUND:
The Genesee County Purchasing Policy requires additional approval to exceed the standard $30,000 threshold for vendors per FY year.
DISCUSSION:
The request is to extend Sentinel Technologies’ vendor limit to $75,000 for FY27. The additional approval will support change orders associated with Resolution 2024-302, including hardware and installation for the County-Wide Access Control and Video Monitoring initiative. As work progresses, some site-specific needs and scope updates have been identified, including items missed during the original review and required additions to ensure consistent security coverage and functionally across County buildings.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
There is no impact on Human Resources.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
Vendor increase to $75,000 to assist with covering multiple smaller change order requests throughout the year. Approval of change of orders would be subject to departments having the available budget.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
Coordination may be required to allow vendors into restricted areas.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
Reviewed by IT.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
This request supports the County’s priority of Healthy, Livable & Safe Communities by strengthening safety and security across County facilities.
