BACKGROUND:
The Office of Purchasing administers and maintains a pre-qualification process for contractors offering to perform demolition and lot-clearing work for the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Code Enforcement.  The estimated cost for each project is below the mandatory bid amount of $50,000.00. When services are required, Code Enforcement obtains three (3) quotes from the pool of previously qualified contractors to perform demolition and lot-clearing work, and each project is awarded based upon the lowest quoted cost.

On March 1, 2018, the Department of Natural Resources submitted a Recommendation to the Board requesting authorization for cumulative total expenditures in excess of $50,000 for FY 2017-18 for a list of contractors who were previously qualified to perform demolition and lot-clearing services for the Department on an as-needed basis.  At that time HHH Construction, Inc. had not submitted a qualification package and was not included on the list of contractors for whom the Board authorized issuance of purchase orders with cumulative expenditures in excess of $50,000.00.. 

On March 15, 2018, the Office of Purchasing submitted a Recommendation to the Board requesting approval of a list of contractors meeting the minimum qualifications of PD 16-17.100, Contractor Qualification List and Tire Waste Registration, for Environmental Code Enforcement.  The list included HHH Construction, Inc. as a qualified vendor.  Thereafter, HHH Construction, Inc. submitted the lowest quote for two projects, which resulted in the issuance of two purchase orders with a cumulative expenditure in excess of $50,000.00.  The requested amendment and ratification will resolve the unintended oversight.
