The seven-figure sum furthered projects and services proposed in a 25-item package that was unanimously authorized by county commissioners during the Nov. 14 meeting. Respective agencies included the county’s Health and Human Services Planning Commission, Recorder of Deeds, and Youth Center.

Of note, a $453,798 agreement with Tyler Technologies, Inc., of Plano, Texas, furnished a “cashiering and imaging system” for the Montgomery County Recorder of Deeds office. The six-figure contract with the Texas-based firm’s scope of work included an “enterprise records management solution with business process assessment and consulting, implementation of software and services, technical and functional staff training, and ongoing maintenance and support” services, the contract states.
The three-year contract is expected to take effect in September 2025, according to county officials, and it includes terms for two optional one-year renewals. The “records improvement fund” was expected to cover the costs associated with the contract. Prior to authorization, three firms submitted bids to a previously advertised request for proposals. While the row office endorsed the Plano firm, GovOS, of Austin, Texas, and Catalis Courts & Land Records, of Alpharetta, Georgia, also applied.
An existing contract with the Harrrisburg-based PrimeCare Medical, Inc. was renewed for $370,500. The company will provide health care services for the county’s Youth Center for 2025, with funding supplied through the county’s general-operational budget.
While the initial three-year contract was listed at more than $1 million, county commissioners opted to use the “first available contract renewal term.” One more remains, according to the contract.
Also concerning the county’s Youth Center, a $285,000 agreement with the Philadelphia-based Precision Doors & Hardware, LLC, dba James Doorcheck, covered the “full replacement and installation” of 58 doors at the facility located in West Norriton Township. Funding was expected through Montgomery County Capital Improvement Program monies.
Four firms responded to a previously advertised request for proposals, with three other applicants listed as Donald E Reisinger, Inc., of West Chester, NCFurman LLC, of Ridley Park, Delaware County and S&S Electrical Services, of Warrington, Bucks County, according to the contract.

Additionally, county commissioners procured drone equipment for the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office. A roughly $224,318 agreement with Brinc, of Seattle, covered “drones with related equipment to be used with the SpotShotter response technology currently deployed in Pottstown and Norristown.”
The equipment was made “available through an NPPGov cooperative contract,” the contract states, with funding secured through the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency’s Gun Violence Investigation and Prosecution Grant Program as well as “equitable sharing funds.”
The next Montgomery County Board of Commissioners meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 19 on the eighth floor of One Montgomery Plaza, 425 Swede St., in Norristown. Those interested in attending the meeting can also do so virtually. Visit montgomerycountypa.gov for more information.
