Explanation
§ Aviation requires enhanced building automation and security system services to assist in monitoring and maintaining HVAC, fire detection, and security systems throughout the airport campus.
§ NC General Statute Section 143-129(e)(3) allows local governments to purchase from formally organized cooperative purchasing contracts.
§ A cooperative purchasing agreement results from the consolidation and competitive solicitation of multiple public agency requirements. By aggregating common needs all agencies are able to leverage economies of scale, such as volume discounts, improved terms and conditions, reduced administrative costs, and access to professional and technical expertise.
§ Annual expenditures are estimated to be $13,000,000.
Charlotte Business INClusion
Cooperative purchasing contracts leverage contracts established by other governmental agencies and do not involve the city conducting a bidding process and are thus exempt from CBI Program goals. However, Aviation is tracking MWSBE subcontractor participation for this purchase:
§ Besco Electrical (MBE) ($90,000) (fire and alarm system testing)
§ Carolina Cable Line (SBE) ($89,295) (camera cleaning)
