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 The Kansas City Star of Kansas City, MO ($5,491.92),  The Examiner of Independence, MO ($2,264.00), and The Lee's Summit Journal of Lee's Summit, MO ($1,833.48), at an estimated aggregate cost not to exceed $9,589.40, for the furnishing of Parks magazines insertion services for use by the Parks and Recreation Department; and,
 
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Director further recommends that it not take competitive bids with regard to said contracts for the reason that The Kansas City Star of Kansas City, MO, The Examiner of Independence, MO, and The Lee's Summit Journal of Lee's Summit, MO, are the only suppliers of insertion services in the Kansas City metropolitan area with a circulation meeting departmental needs; 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 contracts with The Kansas City Star of Kansas City, MO, The Examiner of Independence, MO, and The Lee's Summit Journal of Lee's Summit, MO for the furnishing of Parks magazines insertion services for the Parks and Recreation Department, in an estimated aggregate amount not to exceed $9,589.40; and,
