Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on ratifying an Agreement between Williamson County and Links Communications, Inc. for the Installation of new data outlets and cables in the Liberty Hill Community Supervision & Corrections Division Modular Building, in the amount of $11,879.00; exempting the procurement of such services from the competitive bidding requirements pursuant to Texas Local Government Code Discretionary Exemption 262.024(a)(2) - an item necessary to preserve the health and safety of the residents of Williamson County, and authorize the County Judge to execute all associated documents.

As a direct result of the COVID-19 Pandemic hardships on social structures and public services in our community, an increased and immediate need has arisen to create capacity for the Adult Probation program of Williamson County on the west side of the County.  This agreement was executed ahead of court approval due to being time critical.

To address this capacity need, the Liberty Hill Adult Probation modular building will be installed to accommodate those individuals that have been assigned probation. This Agreement is for the installation of necessary data outlets and cables in the modular building.

CARES Act funds shall be used for this project. The department point of contact is Chris Ball. The budgeted, not-to-exceed amount is $ $11,879.00.
