120 Water is a sole-sourced vendor whose services are imperative to Rowan County. This service is used county-wide to provide water testing kits to county individuals, and we would respectfully request to continue our service to this company. The FY23 amendment is for $11,073.
Rowan County Purchasing Policy requires sole-source purchases over $5,000 be approved by the Board of Commissioners. This agreementwould be approved as a 'sole-source' using standardization or compatibility as the overriding consideration per NCGS 143-129(e)(6) which allowsfor an exception to the bidding laws when:
1. Performance or price competition for a product are not available;
2. A needed product is available from only one source of supply; or
3. Standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration
