Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to enter into a service contract with EKOS for $70,482.40 to provide upgrades to County Fuel Stations. Current systems at the fuel stations are obsolete, creating difficulties for repair and servicing. Due to age the electronic systems frequently crash requiring a lengthy manual reboot process. Upgrades from EKOS will improve system reliability, reduce costs and reliance on commercial fuel sources. Funding is available in the current budget.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This item aligns with Durham County Strategic Objective Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment - SI 1: Plan for long-term use of County land, facilities, and equipment by updating and increasing the efficiency of County Fuel Sites.
Resource Persons: Motiryo Keambiroiro, Director General Services; Chrystal Thomas, Deputy Director General Services; Francis Gibbs, Warehouse Manager; Terry Sineath, Fleet Coordinator
