Lycoming County Commissioners Meeting 11-12-26

Lycoming County Commissioners’ public meeting — November 12, 2026. Commissioners opened bids from Don E. Bower Inc. ($144,649), H&P Construction ($137,781), Lycoming Supply ($136,024), and Minichi ($161,000); no award was reported. They approved a budgeted Oracle financial-system agreement estimated at $345,000, funded with Act 13 funds, after staff compared county options and reported Oracle was the least expensive quote. The agreement defines costs for 10 years. Other approved items included a Verizon network-extender agreement totaling $21,897 over three years ($7,299 budgeted for this year); courthouse elevator repairs (not budgeted; amount unclear in the transcript); and up to $26,750 for drawings and bid documents for magistrate building renovations, using Act 13 funds. Commissioners also approved a resolution requesting up to $175,000 in state Local Share Assessment grant funding for safety and security technology at the Williamsport Home campus. Contract amendments included additional Delta grant-support services (the revised amount is unclear), increased polygraph services for the Public Defender’s Office, and increasing an investigator agreement to $100,000 with an extension through December 31, 2029.

The meeting also included ratification of invoices, including $99,422.30 for fairground construction, and a library-system update. Library representatives reported LSTA awards of $10,000 for strategic-planning consulting and $9,350 for sensory-welcoming kits, along with countywide outreach and delivery services. During public comment, a Potter Township West Branch Fire Company representative raised delays in a public-safety IT project intended to provide live CAD data to emergency responders; commissioners said they would seek information and respond the following week. No other procurement award was identified in that discussion.
