Fiscal Impact: $4,618.28
Accounts: 335-440
Contract Number(s): N/A
Summary: The services were to provide maintenance coverage for mailroom equipment. The proposed renewal invoice for the equipment was received subsequent to the scheduled renewal period. Once the invoice was received the Clerk of the Circuit Court (Clerk’s Office) requested for a portion of the maintenance cost to be removed from the proposed amount due to the equipment software and hardware being obsolete. Additionally, in an effort to generate cost savings and due to infrequent equipment breakdowns the Clerk’s Office contacted the vendor to request for all maintenance costs to be removed. Upon receiving the new invoices it was discovered that the invoice amount included maintenance costs for the entire year instead of a pro-rated amount up to the date the vendor received the Clerk’s Office no | approve | Pass |
