INTRODUCED BY Dennis Waits, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, the Information Technology Department manages forty-four phone lines within the County that do not use the VoIP technology, which are currently paid month-to-month as standard utility lines; and,
WHEREAS, the Director of Information Technology recommends a twelve-month agreement with AT&T of Kansas City, MO, for the servicing of these lines at a cost to the County not to exceed $15,312.00, which will result in an annual savings in the amount of $50,688.00; 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,
