A procurement to finish low-voltage and information-technology construction at the Shelby County Election Commission Operation Center was forwarded by committee after staff described an emergency justification.
Anthony Wright of Shelby County Engineering said the election commission renovation project had periods of blackout and accelerated work and that the low-voltage work was monitored closely. "We requested an emergency justification to make sure the work was completed in time," Wright said; he told commissioners the work was completed by April 15.
The resolution authorizes an emergency purchase order to AccessDNSI Inc. in an amount not to exceed $366,623.26, funded from FY2026 CIP funds appropriated in an earlier resolution. The department recommended approval and the committee moved the item forward with a favorable recommendation.
