# Ottawa County Advances Axon Contract

On November 10, 2026, Ottawa County’s Finance & Administration Committee approved 4–3 and forwarded to the Board of Commissioners a ten-year, $14,624,663 Axon Master Services and Purchasing Agreement for the Sheriff’s Office. The proposed term runs January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2036, and combines a new records management system with existing and additional technology and equipment. Full-board action is still pending. The agreement has no termination-for-convenience option, and committee discussion raised concerns about the bundled surveillance technology, license-plate readers, contract length, pricing transparency, and the scope presented to decision-makers.

- **Why this matters:** The agreement is not yet a final county award. Contractors should distinguish committee approval and referral from Board of Commissioners approval before treating it as an active contract opportunity.
- The Sheriff said costs would be no higher than the current arrangement in 2027 and 2028, with ongoing costs of about $1.42 million annually from 2030. Firms assessing the procurement should account for the long term, cost profile, and lack of a termination-for-convenience option.
- If the board approves the agreement, the combined records-management and technology scope may create implementation or subcontracting work; the signals identify no specific subcontracting solicitation or contact.
- The committee also forwarded a not-to-exceed $3,493,095.51 Phase Two broadband agreement with 123.Net and approved jail flooring and public health clinic renovation contracts. These provide additional county procurement activity, with the listed items subject to the applicable county approval process.
