WHEREAS, by Resolution 14035, dated February 25, 2002, the Legislature did authorize the Director of Purchasing to execute a five-year renewal agreement with Southwestern Bell Telephone for the furnishing of Plexar and related telephone services, as a sole source purchase; and,
WHEREAS, the Finance and Purchasing Director now recommends that the County again renew the agreement with Southwestern Bell/AT&T to provide Plexar and related telephone services for an additional one-year term; and,
