INTRODUCED BY Alfred Jordan, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, by Ordinance 4689, dated November 17, 2014, the Legislature did authorize an Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement between the City of Kansas City, Missouri, the Kansas City Police Department, and the County whereby the County will provide additional space to house the police department's detainees; and,
WHEREAS, as part of this Agreement, the City will provide $1,067,000.00 in funds for the renovation of space located in the Jackson County Detention Center to provide for 100 additional inmate beds; and,
WHEREAS, this renovated space will require the installation of upgraded workstations and software that is integrated to the Detention Center's existing proprietary security system; and,
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 sole source purchases exceeding $25,000.00; and,
WHEREAS, the Director of Finance and Purchasing recommends the award of a contract for the furnishing upgraded workstations and software for the Detention Center for use by the Department of Corrections to Southern Folger Detention Equipment Company of San Antonio, TX, as a sole source purchase, at an actual cost to the County not to exceed $132,098.00; and,
