County hopes to save money consolidating copiers
June 3rd, 2010
Sibley County Commissioners hope to save money in the future by using one vendor for copy machines and printers.
Commissioners, last week, authorized pursuing a one vendor, one contract agreement with River Bend Business Products, Inc. of Mankato. County department heads and budget committee members recommended pursuing the contract with this firm after hearing presentations from several firms.
Lisa Pfarr, Sibley County Auditor, reported that the potential savings may be $10,421 annually and a projected $52,000 savings in five years.
There are currently 89 copiers and printers, which will first be reduced to 85, with a gradual scale back over time. Deputy Auditor Aaron Scharpe stated that research for this project began in August 2009.
