REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION

 
 
Date of Meeting: September 21, 2026
 
9.A.

Resolution to Amend the Procurement Policy

To: Mayor and Board of Commissioners
 
From: Andrew Grant, Town Manager
 
Action Requested:

North Carolina General Statutes allow local governments to exempt particular projects from the qualifications selection process when the estimated professional fee is less than $50,000.  An amendment to the Town’s procurement policy will delegate the exemption authority to the Town Manager.  This will improve the efficiency of certain projects.  Also, to account for inflationary increases in the costs of good & services and to improve the efficiency of certain Town operations, an amendment to the procurement policy authorizes the Town Manager to approve & execute contracts, change orders, and contract amendments up to $250,000.


Manager's Recommendation:

Approve a Resolution amending the Town's Procurement Policy as presented.
