A RESOLUTION authorizing the County Executive to execute a sixty-month extension to the lease agreement with Space Center Kansas City, Inc., of Independence, MO, for use by the Recorder of Deeds Department, at an annual cost to the County not to exceed $199,642.00, as a sole source purchase.
Intro
RESOLUTION NO. 18980, November 2, 2015
INTRODUCED BY Scott Burnett, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, the County has a need for the continued leasing of climate-controlled records storage and office space for use by the Recorder of Deeds’ Records Center; and,
WHEREAS, by Resolution 11036, dated November 27, 1995, the County Legislature did authorize the execution of a three-year lease agreement with Space Center Kansas City of Independence, MO, with two optional five year extensions; and,
WHEREAS, subsequent authorized extensions will end on December 31, 2015; and,
WHEREAS, the Recorder of Deeds and representatives of the Circuit Court have been examining the availability of digitizing the records stored at the Records Center, however, that process is in the early stages and will require the availability of a storage facility for at least five more years; and,
WHEREAS, section 1030.1, Jackson County Code, 1984, eliminates the requirement for competitive bidding when the items to be acquired can be obtained from only one source; and,
WHEREAS, the Director of Finance and Purchasing recommends an extension to the existing lease agreement with Space Center Kansas City, Inc., of Independence, MO, as a sole source provider, because Space Center is the current provider and moving the records to a new storage site would be cost prohibitive; and,
WHEREAS, this extension will be effective January 1, 2016, and will result in a reduction in costs over the previous agreement, with the availability of funds for future years subject to annual appropriation; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that the County Executive be and hereby is authorized to execute an extension to the lease agreement with Space Center, in a form to be approved by the County Counselor; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of Finance and Purchasing be and hereby is authorized to make all payments, including final payment on the agreement, subject to annual appropriation.
Enacted and Approved
Effective Date: This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon its passage by a majority of the Legislature.
