Agenda Text
The Board is requested to provide approval for sole source exemption for the purchase of a Continuity of Operations Plan and data repository from BOLDplanning, Inc. in the amount of $78,500. This sole source request is for the purchase from the original provider. There is no other vendor that provides the data repository service needed for the plan.
