The Grand Jury finds that over two years to issue an RFP seems excessive. Partially Agree The Grand Jury Report listed seven reasonable explanations as to why this process was perceived to be delayed. Additionally, the Sheriff's Office wanted to have a solid and responsible plan in place when spending a significant amount of taxpayer's dollars. Integrating a newer technology into an existing technology takes additional research, planning, and more time. Grant Funding requires following Federal Purchasing Guidelines. In this case, detailed specifications needed to be developed for a Request for Proposal, a time-consuming multidisciplinary process. Installing and troubleshooting necessary support equipment, as well as new infrastructure posed many challenges and took additional time. The Global COVID 19 pandemic negatively affected supply chains and product delivery across the board, including this project.
