Section 23: OPA Elections Subject: ACE Withdraws Msg# 1224485

Last year, MK relied on temporary staff to count ballots, only to later discover a forgotten box tucked away in the corner of another office. Farr, surprisingly, didn’t seem fazed by this.
What struck me as even more absurd was Farr’s concern over the lack of references being a so-called red flag. ACE is a well-established and highly regarded company, with a reputation that dates back ten years prior to when Farr’s parents first bought their home here. Why are Lakernick and Farr so against ACE? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Ace backed out leaving only one vendor. Stauss reported that Voatz out of Massachusetts met all RFP requirements and bid $22,000. That's less than the MK bid of $31,539, and not much more than ACE's. Vote-Now out of Florida was $24,488. What is kind of surprising and never mentioned by any board member is that MK's bid, the highest of all, is based on the contract to include two more years with annual 2.5% escalation. When the committee voted for ACE, Ransdell apparently set out to see that changed. With the help of some board members, he made it happen. Not sure why you say there is only one vendor remaining. Farr was especuially hard on ACE, wondering if ACE could even count the paper ballots. That is absolute nonsense. ACE has printed OPA ballots many times and counted OPA paper ballots at least once when Steve Habeger was election committee chair. |
