Intro
RESOLUTION # 14115, April 2, 2002
INTRODUCED BY Bill Petrie, County Legislator
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,
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Director recommends a contract with Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. of Kansas City, for the furnishing of Plexar telephone service for use by the Public Works Department at the new Public Works facility; and,
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Director further recommends that it not take competitive bids with regard to said contract for the reason that Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. of Kansas City is the only provider in the Kansas City metropolitan area of its proprietary Plexar telephone service, which is necessary to maintain consistency with the County's existing telephone service; therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri that the Purchasing Director be, and hereby is, authorized to execute for the County a contract with Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. of Kansas City, for the furnishing of Plexar telephone service for use by the Public Works Department at the new Public Works facility, at estimated cost in 2002 of $18,223.07, representing $3,557.15 in one-time installation costs and $14,665.92 in monthly service charges, at the rate of $1,833.24 per month for eight months; and,
