Agenda Date: April 20,2026
Subject: WinCAMS Maintenance and System Services Contract
Statement of Issue:
A 5-Year maintenance and system services contract for the WinCAMS accounting software used
by Public Works and Central Services.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's & Con's:
WinCAMS is a cost-effective accounting software system that has been used by Public Works
since 2015. It is also replaced the obsolete stand-alone Fleet Management software in 2015.
This system is used by a majority of the county public works departments in Washington state
and by many counties and cities in California, Oregon, and Washington (including some very
large ones) for the simple reason that it does what other much more expensive accounting
systems are not able to do. The customer service is excellent with calls often answered by the
company president who has been with WinCAMS for 30 years.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis:
The 2026 contract cost is $24,323. There is a 5% annual escalator; however, there is also the
possibility of lowering the cost in future years by dropping some modules that we are
considering no longer using. The County is under no obligation to commit to the full 5-year
term and may opt out at any time with no financial penalty or obligations.
Recommendation: Please approve the attached contract and return to Public Works for
further processing.

Philip Morley, County Administrator
From: Monte Reinders, Public Works Director/County Engineer
Agenda Date: March 22, 2021
Subject: Replacement contract for support of public works, fleet and
facilities software
Statement of Issue: The initial contract for ongoing support and maintenance of the
primary database used by financial and operational staff for Public Works, Fleet
Services and Facilities Maintenance staff has expired. A replacement contract is
proposed here.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's Et Con's: The current system is best suited to meet the
operational and accounting needs specific to asset management for its users. It was
selected through a multi-department competitive RFP in 2014 and implemented late
in 2015 through an awarded five-year contract. The proposed contract replaces that
original contract but is specific to ongoing support and maintenance of the system.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: The 2014 RFP identified the current system as
the most advantageous way to meet the identified needs of its users. Implementation
of the system was a costly endeavor, and subsequent improvement of the system to
meet the county's needs is in process. Evaluation, selection and implementation of a
replacement system is likely to be advantageous at a future date as our needs and
available software change but not prior to realizing the benefits of additional years of
continued operation of the current system without another costly transition.
Recommendation: Approve the proposed five-year contract.
