Central Services was approached by the Auditors office with a request to provide keyless entry to their
offices and to doors of offices that have any impact on the elections process, this includes the Auditors
offices, GCTS and the Mail room, and the Courthouse in general.
The Auditor secured a grant that would pay a substantial portion of the work. Door security is a program
we have approached in the past and due to its high cost, we have not been able to see it implemented here
at the County offices. This grant, however, provides a massive helping hand that gets this long -needed
program started. The total cost of the project is $239,699.64. The Grant is $86,476.42
There was discussion regarding the use of Cares act funding to pay for this project and Cares act funding
has been used for this purpose in other municipalities. Its expense here provides too great a burden on the
Cares act funding currently available to Grant County.
Central Services is proposing we utilize the funds from a previously approved capital project in Facilities
funded through REET funds. The project "Duct Heaters was funded at $173,000.00. With the forward
progress of the new jail, Central Services believes we can provide enough maintenance to keep these units
operating for a longer period of time and free up those funds for the doors program, of which we need
$153,223.22. The pricing is provided through an interlocal agreement with the City of Seattle and their
internal contract #4488, the vendor is "Convergint Technologies" This company provides these services
for other municipalities, data centers in the area, and will provide the services we require in our buildings
and offices. _
