Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to execute a contract with Gregory Poole Equipment Company to provide and deliver a 125kW portable generator and supporting equipment for the new OES Fleet Maintenance Facility for a total not-to-exceed amount of $103,558.00. Funding for this contract is available within the previously approved capital project.
OES Fleet Maintenance is relocating to a larger temporary facility, and, as part of the transition, additional equipment is required to support the expanded space and the operational needs of the department. The expected service life for this equipment is more than twenty years, and the equipment will be relocated to the permanent Junction Road Fleet Operations Center at such time as that facility is constructed.
G.S. 143-129(e) allows local governments to be exempted from the competitive bidding requirements and purchase furnishings/equipment through group purchasing programs. Equipment cost is based on a Sourcewell purchasing agreement, which provides pre-negotiated, competitive pricing and ensures compliance with state procurement requirements.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This item aligns with Strategic Plan Goal: Safe & Resilient Community: Create happy, healthy, and safe places for residents and County employees. This facility serves a critical role providing Durham County citizens with emergency medical services.
