Agenda Text
The Board is requested to provide approval for sole source exemption for the purchase of an Ingersoll Rand 15 horsepower two-stage T30 reciprocating air compressor and a PolySep PSG-15 oil water separator in the amount of $23,409.11. 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(e)(6) ii 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 action is in accordance with Durham County Strategic Plan Goal 4: “Environmental Stewardship and Community Prosperity,” as this will result compliance with Reclaimed Permit WQ0032821.
Resource Persons: Jay Gibson PE, Director of E&ES; and Stephanie Brixey, Deputy Director of E&ES
