18. Approve Piggyback Purchase of GPS Tracking Subscriptions

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering approving a piggyback purchase for GPS tracking subscriptions and related software. This purchase will allow multiple county departments to acquire telematics devices and services for fleet management on an as-needed basis. The contract is planned to run through April 21, 2029, with potential renewals. The estimated annual spending for this service is $182,913. This initiative aims to improve vehicle monitoring, driver safety, operational oversight, and response times across county services. The county is using a piggyback contract, which leverages existing pricing from a Sourcewell contract, allowing for significant savings compared to off-contract or competitor pricing. This approach means the procurement process has already been completed, and the county can benefit from volume discounts. The work involves the ongoing provision of telematics devices and software services. Businesses that supply fleet management technology, GPS tracking systems, and related software solutions may find opportunities. Early engagement could be beneficial as the county plans to utilize these services on an as-needed basis.
