The Jackson County Legislature introduced several procurement and contract matters covering equipment and rentals for county departments.
The legislature recorded an award of a 24-month term supply contract with two 12-month options to extend for portable outdoor toilet rentals to ORI Outdoor Restrooms of Blue Springs, Missouri, under invitation to bid 25-008. A committee report from Finance and Audit said the committee held the matter. The transcript records the committee report as: "Committee held."
The legislature also recorded an eight-month contract extension for the lease of golf carts, a beverage cart, and a range picker for use by the Parks and Recreation Department to PNC Equipment Finance LLC of Cincinnati, Ohio, at a cost not to exceed $37,912 under National IPA contract number 161101. That item appeared before the budget committee and was described in the meeting record as an extension; no final adoption was recorded on June 2.
Separately, the legislature introduced a split 24-month term supply contract (with one 12-month option to extend) for heavy equipment rental for various county departments to Road Builders Machinery and Supply Company, Inc., of Kansas City, Kansas, and H and E Equipment Services, Inc., of Baton Rouge, Louisiana (invitation to bid number 25-009). That item was referred to the Finance and Audit Committee.
No public debate about vendor selection, contract terms beyond the stated amounts/durations, or procedural challenges was recorded during the June 2 session. Several of the procurement items were sent to committee or reported as "committee held," so final contract awards, if any, will be reflected in future committee or full-legislature actions.
