Intro
RESOLUTION #16652, June 9, 2008
INTRODUCED BY Scott Burnett, County Legislator
Body
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 a single contract with AT&T Advanced Services with a common end date for the furnishing of network services for countywide use; and,
WHEREAS, the Director of Finance and Purchasing has determined that AT&T is the sole source for these services as the implications involved in breaking the twenty-four existing contracts would likely negate any potential upside to a new carrier; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that award be made as recommended by the Director of Finance and Purchasing, and that the Director be, and is hereby, authorized to execute for the County any documents necessary to the accomplishment of the award; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of Finance and Purchasing is authorized to make all payments, including final payment on contract, subject to annual appropriations.
Enacted and Approved
Effective Date: This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon its passage by a majority of the Legislature.
