Paul Lux, Okanosa County Supervisor of Elections Commissioners, After careful deliberation and evaluation of how ES&S equipment is deployed and used in other counties, | respectfully submit the following proposal for agreement with ES&S for the purchase of a new voting system for Okaloosa County. The “voting equipment” consists of both an optical scan (paper-based) precinct tabulation system as required by §101.56075, Florida Statute, as well as a precinct-based solution to accommodate voters with disabilities that complies with subsections (2) and (3) of that same statute. The “election management hardware” is a series of networked computers that allow us to create our election definitions, lay out ballots, and accumulate and report the results from early voting, absentees, and election day. The following information is provided: Voting Equipment Purchase Price $590,285.10 Election Management Hardware $34,153.34 Total $624,438.44 We have two financing options available: Option 1 — Amortize the entire amount over a three-year period: Payment year 1: $208,146.15 Payment year 2: $208,146.15 Payment year 3: $208,146.15 Option 2 — Amortize just the voting equipment and purchase EMS hardware outright: Payment year 1: $230,915.04 Payment year 2: $196,761.70 Payment year 3: $196,761.70 By agreement with ES&S, these options are provided to the County with no accrued interest over the three-year payment plan.
