# 2023-08 Pulaski County Awards RFP-23-003 to Flock Safety On **August 7, 2023**, Pulaski County Judge [[Barry Hyde]] signed the **Term Contract Award Letter** formally awarding RFP-23-003 to [[Flock Safety, Inc.]]. The letter — drafted by Lead Buyer [[Tashika Keown]] on County letterhead — names **[[Philip Nanni]]** as Flock's account contact (Phone (815) 915-6316; email [email protected]), references the bid number, and specifies the contract structure: | Cost Type | Item | Amount | |---|---|---| | One-Time Start Up Cost | Installation and Taxes | $977.63 | | Annual Recurring Cost | ALPR Camera | $18,000 per year | | Annual Recurring Cost | Software Licenses | Included | | Annual Recurring Cost | Maintenance | Included | | Annual Recurring Cost | LTE Connectivity | Included | | Optional Cost | Camera Relocations | $150.00 per camera | | Optional Cost | Equipment Replacement | $800.00 per camera | The Award Letter specifies an **initial term of August 21, 2023 through July 20, 2026** (3 years), with the installation to commence within 10 calendar days of receipt and completed within 180 days. The Contract Approval Routing form indicates the funding line `3015-0400-3073` with $24,678.00 available — a **general-fund line**, not asset-forfeiture or federal-grant funded. The Grants Administration signature line is empty. ## Sources - [[Pulaski County Flock Safety Term Contract Award (Contract 6764)]] — the production-overview source for the Award Letter. ## Significance This is the **formal executive authorization** for PCSO's Flock procurement. Judge Hyde's signature is the County's terminal-authority moment; subsequent contracting work (the October 2023 MSA negotiation) implements the award. The Award Letter is **the corpus's documentary anchor for the executive-authority procurement track** — Judge Hyde signs on behalf of the County under his standing executive contracting authority, without recourse to the [[Pulaski County Quorum Court|Quorum Court]] for legislative authorization. The amount ($24,677.63 first-year + reserves per the routing-form summary; $36,900 contract total per the MSA Order Form) is presumably below the County's procurement threshold for legislative-body approval. The funding line's general-fund status resolves PCSO `#26-808`'s item-4 open question on asset-forfeiture funding: the Flock procurement is **not** asset-forfeiture-funded at either the PCSO or County level. The procurement is paid from general-fund appropriation. The August 7 timing is **6 days after** [[Philip Nanni]] took over the Pulaski County account from [[Tom Dull]] on August 1, 2023 — the sales-rep handoff aligned with the award decision.
