Title
Vote to adopt a Resolution approving electronic advertisements for bid opportunities instead of the newspaper depending on the types of vendors required for the goods and/or services solicited
Abstract
Introduction & Background: N.C. G.S. 143-129(b) discusses the advertisement of bids. Bid opportunities are advertised in a newspaper that has general circulation and/or through electronic methods.
Discussion & Analysis: Some of the vendors that we need to reach will not always receive Chatham’s local newspaper. However, vendors have the option to sign up through the website to receive e-notifications for when bids are posted. Solicitations are also posted through the North Carolina Department of Administration e-VP (Vendor Portal) and other websites as applicable. Advertising electronically allows Chatham to expand our opportunity to receive additional competitive bids.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: N/A
Budgetary Impact: Will help save money for advertising costs through the newspaper, when applicable.
Recommendation/Motion: Motion to adopt the Resolution approving electronic advertisements for bid opportunities instead of the newspaper depending on the types of vendors required for the goods and/or services solicited.
