Pricing <br />was obtained for this portable unit, reviewed and approved by the <br />Sheriff's Department. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />This is an essential piece of equipment which allows for the jail <br />to provide in-house dental care. The cost of this unit exceeded <br />the original estimate provided in the furnishings list, but 'the <br />Sheriff's Department authorized its purchase because they did not <br />plan to purchase the computer equipment on the list. <br />The unit has been delivered, the receiving report has been signed <br />off by all parties. Staff is bringing forth this item as <br />clarification to the Board since the original cost estimate for <br />the dental equipment was considerably less than the final purchase <br />price. <br />Original Cost Estimate - $ 6,020.50 <br />Final Purchase Price - $16,086.00 <br />Total Furnishings Budget - $93,400.00 <br />Chairman Bird recognized that Captain William Baird <br />representing the Sheriff's office was present. <br />Capt. Baird stated that the $6,020.50 original cost projection i <br />was approximately two years old. He did not know how that figure <br />was arrived at. <br />Commissioner Wheeler recalled that a dentist was consulted and <br />these were estimates provided by that dentist. <br />Capt. Baird said the Sheriff's Department tried to determine <br />the cost of having a dentist provide the emergency dental care at <br />61 <br />OR 7 1991 BOOKPACE. J�..l <br />
