RESOLUTION #17293, May 24, 2010
INTRODUCED BY Scott Burnett, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, by Resolution 16742, dated October 27, 2008, the legislature did authorize an Agreement with SBC Global/AT&T of Kansas City, MO, to provide Plexar and related telephone services for use countywide, as a sole source purchase; and,
WHEREAS, during the transition to the new VoIP telephone system, it was determined that a certain number of telephone lines with Plexar service should remain as hardwired emergency communication devices that would be operative in the event of a long term power outage; and,
WHEREAS, the County now desires to continue the Plexar service for 911 emergency communication purposes for a three year period at an annual cost to the county not to exceed $22,192.80; and,
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 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 that the County execute an Agreement with AT&T of Kansas City, MO, to provide Plexar and related telephone services for a term of three years; and,
WHEREAS, the Director of Finance and Purchasing further recommends that it not take competitive bids with regard to said Agreement for the reason that AT&T of Kansas City, MO, is the only supplier of its proprietary Plexar services serving the Jackson County area; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that the Director of Finance and Purchasing be, and hereby is, authorized to execute for the County a Agreement with AT&T of Kansas City, MO, for the furnishing of Plexar and related telephone services, for a period not to exceed three years, as a sole source purchase; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of Finance and Purchasing is authorized to make all payments including final payment on the contract, to the extent that sufficient appropriations are contained in the then current Jackson County budget.
