The county is renewing its contract with CML Security, LLC for up to $3,000,000 to maintain and upgrade the security and detention system built by Argyle Security Group, without competitive bidding because CML Security is the only available provider for this proprietary system.
What it means for you
The security and detention systems at county facilities will continue to receive support and upgrades; the sole source exemption means no other vendors were asked to compete.
