Body
WHEREAS, Section 1040.1 of the Jackson County Code, 1984, eliminates the requirement for competitive bidding when items to be purchased can be obtained from only one source; and,
WHEREAS, Section 1063.00 of the Code requires notification of and approval by the Legislature on such sole source purchases exceeding $5,000.00; and,

Van Keppel Co. of Kansas City, KS, in the estimated amount of $8,000.00 for the furnishing of Beuthling, Etnyre, Gardner-Denver, Hi-Way, and Hyster heavy equipment parts and service for use by the Public Works Department to provide for its needs for the upcoming one-year period; and,
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Director further recommends that he not take competitive bids with regard to said contract for the reason that G. W.
