INTRODUCED BY Ronald E. Finley, 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 Purchasing Director recommends a contract with LexisNexis of Miamisburg, OH, for the furnishing of on-line legal research services for use by the County Counselor's Office and SmartLinx research services for use by the Collection Department; and,
WHEREAS, the Purchasing Director further recommends that he not take competitive bids with regard to said contract for the reason that LexisNexis of Miamisburg, OH, is the only known supplier of its own proprietary SmartLinx and legal research services; therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED that award be made as recommended by the Purchasing Director, and that the Purchasing Director be, and is hereby, authorized to execute for the County a contract with LexisNexis of Miamisburg, OH; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of the Department of Finance is authorized to make all payments including final payment on the contract.
