PRESENTATION OF SUSTAINED PROFESSIONAL PURCHASING  
AWARD: GUILFORD COUNTY PURCHASING DIVISION OF FINANCE  
AND RECOGNIZE PURCHASING MANAGER FRAN CAMERON UPON  
RECEIVING THE HALL-WICKER AWARD  
Background:  
During the North Carolina Association of Governmental Purchasers  
(NCAGP) spring conference, the Guilford County Purchasing  
Division of Finance was awarded the Sustained Professional  
Purchasing Award for accomplishments in procurement and for  
demonstrating sustained excellence in purchasing standards. The  
NCAGP Sustained Professional Purchasing Award (SPPA) is an  
annual award by the North Carolina Association of Governmental  
Purchasing that recognizes member agencies for excellence in  
procurement. The award honors agencies that demonstrate high  
standards in areas such as technology use, policy, and staff training.  
This was the fourth year Guilford County Purchasing has won  
this award. Purchasing received the award along with eighteen (18)  
other NC agencies for dedication to professional development and  
continuous improvement to serving both external and internal  
customers.  
Additionally, Purchasing Manager Fran Cameron won the prestigious  
Hall-Wicker award, which is the first time a Guilford County  
purchasing professional has won the award since it was established.  
The award was established by the North Carolina Association of  
Governmental Purchasing (NCAGP) in 1996 to recognize  
outstanding contributions and service to the cause and advancement  
of the purchasing profession and to jointly honor the late Warren  
"Jake" Wicker who was instrumental in the founding of NCAGP and  
in the development of a substantial curriculum in purchasing at the  
Institute of Government for North Carolina public officials, and the  
late W.T. "Tom" Hall, Jr., who was a tireless innovator, directing his  
energy toward new ways to make purchasing more efficient and  
effective.  
Requested Action:  
Recognize the Guilford County Purchasing Division of Finance on  
their receipt of the Sustained Professional Purchasing Award and  
offer Special Recognition to the Guilford County Purchasing  
Manager on the receipt of the Hall-Wicker Award.

VI. CONSENT AGENDA

2026-193  
1.  
COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING GRANT FOR "ONE PLACE"  
SERVICES  
Background:  
Guilford County submitted a request to former Congresswoman  
Kathy Manning's office in 2023 for Congressionally-directed funding  
for a "One Place" program that would provide group living and  
services for high risk / vulnerable housing insecure adults and  
emergency shelter and services for families with children to add  
needed capacity within our community. The total funding request  
included $8.2 million for property acquisition for living / shelter  
space and $4.8 million for start up and other operational costs. In  
total, the County was awarded $0.5 million in Federal FY 2024,  
effective in March 2024. The funds must be spent by August 31,  
2032.  
Due to the actual award amount and other recent efforts around  
homelessness and use of Opioid Settlement fund dollars, staff have  
determined that the current use of the One Place funds that best  
aligns with the original application purpose is to support operating  
costs associated with long-term beds added at the Guilford County  
Prince Edward Graves Recovery and Treatment Center. Funds  
would be utilized over County FYs 2026 and 2027 (present through  
June 30, 2027).  
Requested Action:  
Approve the receipt of the 2024 Community Project Funding (CPF)  
"One Place" grant in the amount of $500,000 and adopt a "CPF One  
Place" grant project ordinance in the amount of $500,000 with

Background:  
The Guilford County Department of Health and Human Services,  
Division of Public Health, has been awarded a $5,000 grant from  
Delta Dental to support the Smile for Kids, Project Access Dental  
(PAD) Program. Grant funds will be used to provide emergency

enhanced school attendance and performance. Since 2015, the  
program has been fully grant-funded and has served 85 uninsured  
children. With an average cost of $250-$500 per child, the current  
award is projected to serve approximately fifteen (15) children.

HHS- PUBLIC HEALTH DELTA DENTAL GRANT - SMILES IN THE  
CLASSROOM ($5,000)  
Background:  
Guilford County Division of Public Health's School Health  
program has provided oral health screens in Guilford County  
schools since 2014, through a Dental Hygienist. Delta Dental has  
awarded the School Health Program $5,000 in Grant funding  
since 2023 to implement the Smiles in the Classroom program.  
This project provides oral health supplies such as a toothbrush,  
brushing timer, and/or toothpaste to Guilford County Public  
School (GCS) kindergarten students at the time of their  
kindergarten dental screening.  
Over the last three years we have been able to grow the program,  
allowing us to provide toothbrushes to small groups of 1st and  
3rd grade students when their class participates in oral health  
education classes. These classes are designed specifically to  
celebrate Children’s Dental Health Month during the month of  
February. Additionally, oral health kits (toothbrushes, brushing  
timer and/or toothpaste along with an insert on general good oral  
health recommendations) are provided, upon school nurse  
request, to some of our high-risk (diabetic, pregnant, and/or  
housing insecure) older students. Good oral health is essential to  
good overall all health and many students do not have the basic  
supplies needed to be successful with achieving good oral health.  
This program provides students with the necessary tools so that  
they can work towards and/or maintain good oral health. Funds  
will be used to purchase toothbrushes, brushing timers, and  
toothpaste samples.  
Guilford County Public Health-School Health Division is the only  
entity in the county that has a MOA that allows for the School  
Health Dental Hygienist to provide kindergarten dental screenings  
to GCS students. That same MOA also allows the School Health  
Dental Hygienist to screen any enrolled student grade K-12 that  
has an urgent dental need. During the 2024-2025 school year  
4,034 dental screenings were completed. Also, during that time,  
4,528 toothbrushes along with 4,278 brushing timers and  
toothpaste samples were distributed to GCS students. Funding  
from this grant will allow the Smiles In the Classroom program,  
managed by Public Health, to continue.

LAW ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION CENTER STORM WATER  
CONTROL PLAN AGREEMENT  
Background:  
The Law Enforcement Administration Center, located at 401 West  
Sycamore Street, will require stormwater control to comply with NC  
Department of Environmental Quality storm water control measures.  
During design, staff instructed the civil engineer to include a  
permeable pavement design to avoid the need for a stormwater  
detention pond on the site. This agenda item will authorize staff to  
enter into an agreement with the City of Greensboro, which will  
certify Guilford County to maintain the installed permeable pavement  
in accordance with care and use guidelines provided by the installer.  
The Property will require the construction of a storm water  
management control system (the “Storm Water Control Measure” or  
“Facilities”). The requirements are outlined in the maintenance plan  
on the approved City of Greensboro Technical Review Committee  
plan # 2022-3655. The plan is titled Guilford County Sheriff's Office  
Building, SCM Types (Wet Pond, Bio-cell, etc.). Permeable  
Pavement was selected during design to serve the Property, as  
required by the City and in accordance with North Carolina  
Administrative Code Rule 15A NCAC 02H .1050.  
The City of Greensboro requires an owner of a stormwater control  
device to provide an operations and maintenance agreement to  
pledge proper operation of the device to control stormwater as  
designed. This is a standard agreement that is part of the City's  
technical review requirements.  
Requested Action:  
Authorize staff to enter into the Operation and Maintenance  
Agreement, in substantial form, with the City of Greensboro for the  
Law Enforcement Administration Center located at 401 West

VII. NEW BUSINESS  
2026-158  
A.  
BUDGET AMENDMENT AND PURCHASES: EQUIPMENT AND  
SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT FOR SHERIFF'S OFFICE UTILIZING  
FEDERAL FORFEITURE FUNDS  
Background:  
The Fiscal Year 2026 Adopted Budget included $1,125,000 to invest  
in public safety specialty equipment that has reached the end of its  
useful life. This investment includes a SERT support vehicle, a  
Mobile Command Center, and additional equipment and technology.  
This agenda item authorizes the purchase of this equipment, amends  
the budget based on final costs, and approves the use of federal  
forfeiture funds for additional equipment. This item does not  
require additional County funds.  
The SERT vehicle and Mobile Command Center support the  
Sheriff’s Office in carrying out law enforcement duties. As public  
safety needs continue to evolve, so must the tools used to deter  
crime, protect the community, and support successful prosecutions.  
This equipment includes:  
·
SERT Support Vehicle: The Sheriff’s Office is in the  
process of purchasing a specialized SERT (Sheriff’s  
Emergency Response Team) support vehicle. The prior SERT  
Vehicle was a converted ambulance that had reached end of its  
useful life. This new vehicle will transport tactical gear and  
equipment used during high-risk operations. It will also  
provide secure storage and transport for explosive ordnance  
and related materials used by bomb technicians, with  
reinforced compartments and controlled access to meet  
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF)  
guidelines. These requirements ensure that explosive materials,  
detonators, and related devices are safely secured, properly  
separated, and transported in a manner that protects  
personnel, the public, and ongoing investigations. An  
approved bid waiver (Group Purchasing Program exemption)  
and proposed contract with Matthews Specialty Vehicles in  
the amount of $438,478.00 is included with this agenda item  
along with contract attachments reflecting the vehicle  
specifications and warranty. Matthews is a local business on  
American Avenue in Greensboro.  
·
Mobile Command Center: The Guilford County Sheriff’s  
Office Mobile Command Center is a specialized vehicle  
designed to provide a centralized location for command staff  
to coordinate operations during major incidents and  
emergency responses. It includes integrated communications  
systems, data connectivity, mapping capabilities, and  
workspace for incident commanders to manage personnel,  
resources, and real-time information during critical events such  
as large-scale investigations, natural disasters, and  
multi-agency operations. By bringing command and  
coordination capabilities directly to the scene, the Mobile  
Command Center enables leadership to maintain operational  
control and efficiently direct responding units in rapidly  
evolving situations. An approved bid waiver (Group  
Purchasing Program exemption) and proposed contract with  
Matthews Specialty Vehicles in the amount of $773,925.00 is  
included with this agenda item along with contract attachments  
reflecting the vehicle specifications and warranty.  
Based on final costs and upfitting requirements for these two  
essential law enforcement assets, the total final cost for both vehicles  
is $1,212,403.00 which exceeds the FY26 budgeted amount by  
$87,403.00. As such, the Sheriff’s Office is seeking BOCC  
permission to use $88,000 in Federal Forfeiture Funds to complete  
the purchases.  
Additionally, the Sheriff’s Office is requesting:  
·
$90,840 for gas masks for frontline deputies to enhance officer  
safety during crowd control and hazardous situations; and  
$110,158 for additional Real Time Crime Center cameras to  
strengthen monitoring, support investigations, and improve  
real-time response capabilities.  
·
The Sheriff's Office is also requesting the BOCC's authority to  
fund these necessary purchases using Federal Forfeiture  
Funds. Prior to approval of this action, the available balance  
of these federal forfeiture funds is $808,032, and the balance  
will be $519,034 if the items are approved.  
Requested Action:  
1. Amend the General Fund budget ordinance to increase Law  
Enforcement's budget by $288,998, with $288,998 in

B.  
Background:  
The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office relies on specialized equipment  
to carry out its law enforcement duties. As public safety needs  
continue to evolve, so must the tools used to deter crime, protect the  
community, and support successful prosecutions.  
The Sheriff’s Office is seeking to appropriate $75,000 from the  
Unauthorized Substance Tax Fund. The Sheriff’s Office intends to  
use the funds to replace an aging DWI Task Force supervisor truck.  
Vehicle replacement funding over the last several years has been  
prioritized to address pursuit rated vehicles, Command Center, and  
SERT vehicles. A truck is required due to the need to pull trailers  
associated with DWI checkpoints and the DWI Educator trailer. The  
current balance of Unauthorized Substance Use Tax is $705,506 and  
if this item is approved the remaining balance will be $630,506.  
Capital Chevrolet (NC State Contract 2510A)  
The replacement truck is a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Police  
Pursuit Vehicle will be purchased from Capital Chevrolet using State  
Contract for a total cost of the vehicle with law enforcement upfits,
