Rowan County choose Tyler Technologies to be our ERP system in 2016. Rowan County purchasing policy requires any purchases over $5,000 without competitive quotes come to the Board of Commissioners as ‘sole-source’ purchases. This contract would be approved as a 'sole-source' using standardization or compatibility as the overriding consideration per NCGS 143-129(e)(6) which allows for 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
Staff would like to request that all renewals from Tyler Technologies be approved as a ‘sole-source’ going forward and only those purchases that are additions of services from Tyler Technologies come to the Board for approval.
Board of Commissioners authorize the County Manager or Purchasing Director, depending on price point, to sign all renewals with Tyler Technologies.
