Body

 WHEREAS, section 1030.1, 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 1030.1 also requires notification of and approval by the Legislature on such sole source purchases exceeding $25,000.00; and,

 

WHEREAS, the Director of Finance and Purchasing recommends a contract with Lexis Nexis of Dayton, OH, for the furnishing of on-line legal publications and legal research services for use by the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, the County Counselor’s Office, and the Medical Examiner’s Office; and,

 

WHEREAS, the Director of Finance and Purchasing further recommends that he not take competitive bids with regard to said contract for the reason that Lexis Nexis is the only supplier of its proprietary on-line legal publications and legal research services, which services best meet the needs of the user agencies; and,

 

WHEREAS, this award is made on an as needed basis and does not obligate Jackson County to pay any amount, with the availability of funds for specific purchases remaining subject to annual appropriation; now therefore,

 

BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that award be made as recommended by the Director of Finance and Purchasing, and that the Director be, and is hereby, authorized to execute for the County any documents necessary to the accomplishment of the award; and,
