RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Clerk-Recorder, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., to increase the payment limit by $133,680 to a new payment limit of $5,495,380 for additional voting equipment for processing ballots, with no change in the contract term of March 1, 2018 through December 31, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the additional voting equipment is $579,830, offset with a credit of $375,000 for the return of 300 ImageCast Evolution precinct scanners, for a total additional cost to the County of $204,830. This amount is budgeted and appropriated for the FY 2021-22. Software licenses and warranty costs will increase by $67,750 for the new equipment, but decrease by $138,900 for the returned equipment, resulting in a net savings of $71,150. The overall cost of the amendment is $133,680, bringing the not to exceed value of the contract to $5,495,380. The cost will be paid from elections capital replacement funds within the County General Fund, dedicated to this purpose. A portion of the cost will be able to be reimbursed by the State and returned to the Elections Capital Replacement Account.
