The DeKalb County Operations Committee approved a package of contract extensions, change orders and equipment purchases intended to maintain services while the county completes competitive solicitations.
Facility Management asked to ratify an increase and extend contract 1307812 for fire and intrusion alarms, adding $275,000 and extending the term to June 30, 2026. A department presenter said the work covers fire and intrusion alarm systems at county facilities and that an ITB is under way for a new contract; commissioners approved the extension.
The committee also approved an extension for preventive maintenance of uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) awarded to AC and DC Power Technologies LLC through June 30, 2026, while procurement completes a competitive solicitation.
A change order to keep a contractor on the parking‑deck punch list was approved through April 30, 2026. Commissioners approved the purchase of a John Deere dozer through a Sourcewell contract at a not‑to‑exceed $739,227 for landfill sanitation operations; fleet staff explained replacement decisions are based on usage and maintenance metrics and said replacements are staged to avoid taking many units out of service at once.
Public Works Fleet also presented a cooperative agreement to buy a 2027 Kenworth flatbed/tie truck for emergency tire repair at a not‑to‑exceed $160,875. Voter Registration requested a limited extension with Quivin Inc. for large commercial signage and mailing services (not to exceed $10,000) to cover an upcoming special election and possible runoff; staff said a vendor solicitation is in progress.
Staff asked for additional information about the distribution of janitorial services and why some locations are covered by larger contract amounts. Commissioners asked staff to provide a breakdown of services and hours before the full County Commission meeting next Tuesday. The committee approved the listed items and held seven other items in committee for later consideration.
