BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: December 16, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Paul Lawson
SUBJECT: Jail Door Control Systems Replacement
DEPARTMENT: Corrections
BCC DISTRICT: ALL
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Department of Corrections requests that the Board award the
bid for the replacement of storm damaged electronic door control systems and the connected
video and intercom systems to Willo Products in the amount of $195,486.00, they being the low
bidder meeting specifications.
BACKGROUND: During the storm of April 30, 2014, the Okaloosa County Department of
Corrections suffered severe lightning damage that crippled electronic door control systems and
the connected video and intercom systems beyond repair. On August 5, 2014, the Board
committed to fund the project in the FY15 Capital Outlay budget, authorized the Department of
Corrections to proceed with the request for bids and established a selection committee.
Subsequently, a request for bids was issued. Three (3) vendors submitted bids for the project.
The Selection Committee recommends that the bid be awarded to the low bidder, Willo Products.
Funding is available in Capital Outlay and we anticipate partial reimbursement from FEMA.
If approved, a contract will be presented at the next regular Board meeting for approval.
OPTIONS: Award Reject
RECOMMENDATIONS: The Department of Corrections recommends awarding the bid to
Willo Products.
