Explanation
§ City facilities have numerous elevators, escalators, and moving walks that must be maintained and serviced regularly, and in the event of equipment failure, immediate response for necessary repairs is required.
§ G.S. 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.
§ Total annual expenditures are estimated to be $6,000,000.
