County Commission Patrol Vehicle Upfit Meeting
The Commission discussed and approved the procurement and upfitting of six new patrol vehicles for the Sheriff's Office. Key discussion points included a review of the procurement process, a comparison of bids from multiple upfitters, and the justification for selecting ERS due to their complete bid, lifetime warranty, and cost-effectiveness. The Commission also addressed a budgetary increase resulting from a change in the required radio systems and ultimately approved the purchase of the vehicles and the associated upfitting contracts.
