Intro
RESOLUTION NO. 19832, April 23, 2018

INTRODUCED BY Tony Miller, County Legislator


Body
WHEREAS, the Parks + Rec Department manages fifty-nine phone lines that do not use the VoIP technology, but rather rely on what are known as POTS (plain old telephone service) lines; and,

WHEREAS, a proposed new agreement with AT&T will reduce the annual costs for these lines from $100,000.00 to $38,000.00, resulting in an annual savings of $62,000.00; and,

WHEREAS, section 1030.1, Jackson County Code, 1984, the Department of Finance and Purchasing recommends the award of a thirty-six month term and supply contract for POTS telephone line services for the Parks + Rec Department to AT&T of Kansas City, MO, as a sole source purchase, for the reason that AT&T is the owner of the connecting lines and thus the only available POTS provider; now therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri that the contract be awarded as recommended by the Department of Finance and Purchasing, and that the Department of Finance and Purchasing be, and is hereby, authorized to execute for the County any documents necessary for the accomplishment of the award; and,

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Department of Finance and Purchasing is authorized to make all payments including final payment on the contract, to the extent that sufficient appropriation to the using spending agency are contained in the then current Jackson County budget.
