Keyless entry for County facilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
July 27, 2020
Central Services has been tasked to provide keyless entry installation at numerous County facilities as the
funding has been provided through two grants; The CARES act funding managed through the
Administrative Services Coordinator and the HAVA grant through the Auditors office.

The purchase of these goods and services is being performed under the guidelines provided through the
CARES act and as this is a response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, competitive bidding is not necessarily

the County is a signatory member of, OMNIA partners (formerly U.S. Communities) utilizes two
contracts for this work and as such (and for the purpose of being overly cautious) regardless of the
CARES act guidelines which may or may not change as events progress the County is utilizing its
purchasing policies to secure this work.
This letter is to memorialize that the Grants have been awarded, Central Services received a notice of
approval by both the Board and the Auditor, that the County is proceeding with the work effective
immediately, and that the goods and services have been found under Contract #s R170601 & R170502
with OMNIA Partners a cooperative purchasing partner of Grant County and as such a competitive bid
process is not required.
Central Services holds the documents for these contracts including the contracts, original RFP's, award
letters, responses to questions during the RFP process and other documents created by OMNIA as being
relevant to the process.
Respectfully,
