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 Director of Purchasing recommends a contract with Nextel Communications of Overland Park, KS, for the purchase of cellular air time/pager rental for use by the Parks and Recreations and Corrections Departments and,
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Director further recommends that he not take competitive bids with regard to said contract for the reason that Nextel Communications of Overland Park, KS, is the only known local supplier of equipment featuring telephone, two-way radio, and pager functions on one piece of equipment; therefore,
