WHEREAS, the County desires to purchase software support and replacement LRT units for use by the Department of Corrections; and,
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,
