Mid-Carolina Regional airport would like to enter into an agreement to purchase one (1) Big A** fan for the 15,000sgft hangar to be leased by Retail Business Solutions. This agreement will include the installation of the new fan and relocation of the current fan. This agreement would be approved as a ‘sole-source’ 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
The County will execute the agreement with Hoffman & Hoffman (the manufacturer’s local authorized representative). The fan and install is $19,525, plus applicable taxes in the amount of $1,366.75, for a total contract price of $20,891.75 . There is a Duke Energy rebate for $1000/fan the County may qualify for. The warranty on the fan is three years electrical parts, and seven years mechanical. The labor warranty is one year.
Attached is the quote provided by Hoffman & Hoffman that will be entered as a contract.
The Airport Director and Purchasing Director recommends that the Board of Commissioners authorize the County Manager to enter into a “sole-source” agreement with Hoffman & Hoffman for the purchase and install of a second Big A** fan for an amount not to exceed $20,891.75.
