PRESTON, Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> MD FMK SHERIFF PEITERGRASS, Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENT Durham - 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To 'consider the request of a budget amendment increasing appro- <br /> priations in the Clerk of Courts capital outlay account <br /> (1042074) by $3,225. Said funds to be transferred from the <br /> County Capital Projects Fund. <br /> NEED: As Per the attached letters and memos, the need has arisen once <br /> again to have a metal detector in the courtroom where certain <br /> sensitive trials are to be held. <br /> In the past we have been able to borrow a unit from Durham <br /> County. Our needs however, are becoming more frequent and the <br /> borrowed unit is currently in use in Durham County. Attempts to <br /> borrow units elsewhere have proven fruitless. <br /> IMPACT: The Purchasing Director conducted an informal bid search, <br /> located and purchased a metal detection unit from Sirchie <br /> Fingerprint Labs in Raleigh with a total purchase price of <br /> $3,225. <br /> Not : Due to the emergency nature of this purchase and the time <br /> restrictions placed on it, telephone bids were solicited in lieu <br /> of the standard written quotation. Either is acceptable <br /> although written bids would usually be sought for a purchase of <br /> thig dollar amount. <br /> REOOMMEMATION(S) : <br /> Approve the attached budget amendment for this emergency <br /> pur,ase. <br />
