Intro
RESOLUTION # 14274, July 29, 2002
INTRODUCED BY Terry Young, 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 for the purchase of mobile radar units for use by the Sheriff's Department to Kustom Signals of Lenexa, Kansas, as its unit was evaluated as the best option in a Sheriff's Department field test; and,
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Director further recommends that he not take competitive bids with regard to said contract for the reason that Kustom Signals of Lenexa, KS, is the only known supplier of its proprietary "Talon" mobile radar units; therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that award be made as recommended by the Purchasing Director, and that the Purchasing Director be, and is hereby, authorized to execute for the County an agreement with Kustom Signals of Lenexa, KS, in the actual amount of $18,500.00; and,
