BID AWARDS
Solicitor Grimm recommended the Board, on behalf of Purchasing and Court Administration, award
the bid contract for a Courts Case Management System to Thomson Reuters, Eagan, Minn. at an estimated
amount of $1.565 million for upfront costs plus $350,000 fee per year for maintenance and support.
American Rescue Plan Act funds will be utilized through 2024.
`Before she casts her vote, Mrs. Vaughan wanted to provide some information on this. In 2019, and this was the first
time in 24 years, Mrs. Vaughan convened the head directors with the newly elected officials that have not taken office. This was
to make sure they were well equipped to understandgovernment and what they needed to do to be successful Since January 2021,
they have had a number of Court orders the Court had deemed necessary in order to continue with the work that they do. On
January 15, to the Clerk o f Courts, Prothonotary and the Register of Dills, administrative procedures for filing offices. Wl'e had
another one May 7, to the Clerk of Courts; May 28, to the Clerk of Courts; July 1, to the Clerk of Courts; July 6, to the
Register of mills; July 22, to the Register of lYlills; August 5, to the Register of Dills. The Court has had a number of issues
and frankly a number of issues completing the work within the judicial system. lYlith that being said and after speaking to
President Judge DiSalle and Judge Lucas, they have collectively over 40 years of ea perience in the administration of justice. Mrs.
Vaughan has spent agreat deal of time reviewing requests forproposals on software gstems that would work for the Courts, an
integrated software ystem. The three goals are for automation, automation, and access for the public. Some of the highlights they
are voting on in a reduction in physical storage. lY>e have spent a great deal of money storing documents for lTVashington County.
It's around $60,000 peryear. This will reduce this burden. Also, this is believed to reduce litigation time and costs. Ifyou have
ever used ourjudicial system, you will know that there is a backlog and people have waited agreat deal of time for the
administration ofjustice. It will reduce errors and reliance on the filing offices. It will reduce the chances to commit errors and
allows for e-faling and automation for the users. This is why they went to the bar association to receive their input. This will also
reduce staff on an annual basis in the Prothonotary. Office because of the automated filing. This will provide a greater amount
of public access. This report we received, along with a meeting with the judges, it also guarantees configuration for the Register of
lYlills office with integration. This is not a stand -along stem that can be used throughout ourjudicial ystem.
Moved by Mr. Sherman, seconded by Mr. Maggi, approving the contract with Thomson Reuters.
Roll call vote taken:
Mr. Sherman — Yes; Mr. Maggi — Yes; Mrs. Vaughan —'in confidence I vote yes.
