Rowan County Purchasing Policy requires sole-source purchases over $5,000 be approved by the Board of Commissioners. This agreement 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; or
2. A needed product is available from only one source of supply; or
3. Standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration
Rowan County Sheriff's Office needs to repair two padded cells that were noted at the detention center's last inspection. After reaching out to three vendors, a currently used engineer group, multiple emails and phone calls the Sheriff's Office and I have performed our due diligence to provide multiple quotes, but due to the lack of response we are not finding an alternative source for our area.
