Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the purchase of eighty (80) Curb Express Carts with sun cover from Election Systems and Software for an amount not to exceed $70,200.00 to include shipping and handling and to further approve a discretionary exemption under the Texas Local Government Code, Section 262.024 (a)(7) sole source and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #2930-1110-001-451201-104 (Election Expense Other Safe Election & Supplies)]

Issue: The Elections Office’s new express vote machines do not include curve side carts and or other wheel carts in order to provide curve side voting during early voting and Election Day outside the precinct location.

Solution: This purchase will enable us to provide curve side voting assistance to our voters outside each polling location

Result: Carts will be able to carry our Express vote machines outside the polling site location with minimal effort from election workers to provide curve side voting.
