Background/Purpose of Request:
On August 5, 2019, the Board of Commissioners approved a resolution for the purchase of specific items by specific vendors as an exception to formal bidding requirements in accordance with NCGS 143-129 (e) (6) where price competition is not available. Per the Brunswick County Purchasing Policy Section 9.4.1-Sole Source, Public Utilities is submitting a resolution for bidding exception as the policy requires Board approval every 3 years (resolution attached). The resolution and agenda item was presented for approval earlier in this 08/15/2022 Board Meeting.
Heritage Water Systems is the sole provider of Crane Pump Systems (Barnes Grinder Pumps) replacement pumps and kits (see attached Sole Source Letter). Staff recommends approval of a contract with Heritage Water Systems for the continued purchase of these grinder pumps and kits. |
