Rowan County Facilities Management, Parks and Recreation would like to purchase items from 3 vendors during FY23. These vendors would be approved as a 'sole-source' per NCGS 143-l29(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
Facilities Management:
Vulcan Material: Sign Tech has contacted several companies for purchasing street sign road blanks. None will punch holes into sign blades or poles except for Vulcan. There is only one staff person at Facilities with no other resources being able to punch holes.
Parks and Recreation:
Toysmith: Plush toys for Hurley Station are purchased from this wholesale company. All other avenues that we can purchase charge resale price not wholesale.
Aurora: Novelties items for Hurley Station are purchased from this wholesale company. All other avenues that we can purchase charge resale price not wholesale
Facilities Management, Parks and Recreation Director and Purchasing Director recommends that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Purchasing Director to approve "solesource" purchases with Vulcan Aluminum, Toysmith and Aurora during FY23.
