Committee approves awards for financial reporting and budgeting software; vendor names unclear in transcript

The committee approved staff recommendations to award contracts related to the county's new financial reporting and budgeting software. Finance staff explained the county expects to contract with two vendors separately: one providing the software and the other providing consulting and implementation services.

"So both of them are listed, Orkiva and the napkin. And so we'll be contracting individually with both both of those vendors," the presenter said as the committee moved to approve the award recommendations. Several supervisors asked about price differences across quotes and staff explained some proposers were offering additional modules the county did not require.

The motion to approve the awards carried by voice vote. (Note: vendor spellings are recorded as spoken in the transcript; transcription appears unclear and should be confirmed in the procurement file before publication.)
