Commission OKs amendment to JCI fire-monitoring contract; price reduced to $600/year for new campus

The commission approved Contract Amendment No. 1 with JCI to update pricing and renewal terms for annual fire alarm monitoring at the county's new campus. Staff told commissioners the vendor asked to move from a three-year locked term to year-to-year renewals and lowered the price.

"They've reduced their price from 850 to 600," the presenter said, noting the change was not something staff sought but one the vendor proposed. The county attorney reviewed the amendment without raising concerns. Commissioners approved the change after a motion and voice vote.

Staff characterized the amendment as a routine pricing update affecting future annual monitoring charges and clarified that the amendment covers only monitoring at the new campus; other county contracts remain unchanged.
