Agenda Text
The Board is requested to provide approval for sole source exemption for the purchase of a replacement OEM Nord Motor from Veolia Water Technologies, Inc. (dba Kruger) in the amount of $13,383.79. Attached is the sole source letter and quote.
This item has been reviewed by the Purchasing Division for compliance with the request for sole source exemption. North Carolina General Statute 143-129(g) (3) allows local governments to be exempted from competitive bidding requirements when a sole source is available, performance or price competition for a product is not available, a needed product is available from only one source of supply, or standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration. This purchase will be funded by the Sewer Enterprise Fund.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This item aligns with Durham County Strategic Goal: Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment and will result in compliance with NPDES Permit NC0026051.
