Commissioners OK $25,000 increase to Acela/TruePoint waiver to close project

Public Works staff asked the board for authorization to increase a previously approved procurement waiver for TruePoint Solutions (Acela communications work) from $100,000 to $125,000 so staff could pay final invoices and close the purchase order.

"We did a waiver in 2025 for TruePoint Solutions ... It was up to a $100,000. The project is coming towards an end. We received 4 or 5 new invoices that's gonna exceed that $100,000 mark. So we've come to the board to ask for... to increase the waiver to a $125,000 so we can pay those final invoices and close out the purchase order," Katie Curtis told the commissioners.

Staff explained the work supported building‑division automated communications through Acela and noted IT and PWD are coordinating to transfer ongoing systems‑work to IT for longer‑term stewardship. Commissioners indicated approval through a thumbs‑up consensus during the study session; no roll‑call vote was recorded in open session.
