| |
4| the case, the bid procedure described in this |
| |
5| subsection shall be followed, or |
| |
6| b. if vendors are not willing to commit to a firm price |
| |
7| for a reduced period, the purchasing agent shall |
| |
8| solicit and record at least three quotes of current |
| |
9| prices available to the county and authorize the |
| |
10| purchase of goods based on the lowest and best quote |
| |
11| as it becomes necessary to acquire such goods. The |
| |
12| quotes shall be recorded on a form prescribed by the |
| |
13| State Auditor and Inspector and shall be attached to |
| |
14| the purchase order and filed with the county clerk's |
| |
15| copy of the purchase order. Any time the lowest quote |
| |
16| was not considered to be the lowest and best quote, |
| |
17| the reason for this conclusion shall be recorded by |
| |
18| the county purchasing agent and transmitted to the |
| |
19| county clerk, or |
| |
20| c. if three quotes are not available, a memorandum to the |
| |
21| county clerk from the county purchasing agent shall |
| |
22| describe the basis upon which a purchase is |
| |
23| authorized. The memorandum shall state the reasons |
| |
24| why the price for such a purchase is the lowest and |
| |
Page 8
