Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

Mendocino County Policy No. 1 was adopted by Board on November 4, 1980, and last amended by the Board on August 26, 2014.                     

 

Summary of Request

Mendocino County Policy No. 1, Purchasing, Leasing and Contracting, includes a section that allows for the application of a local vendor preference on qualifying County purchases and/or contracts for services.  Pursuant to United States Code of Federal Regulations, (2 CR 200.319(b)), FEMA excludes the application of local vendor preference any time Federal funding is associated with an acquisition of goods or services.  As a result, the Executive Office and County Counsel are recommending that the Board approve the proposed revision to Policy 1, Section 5.0, as follows:  "Those contracts which State Law or, other law or regulation precludes this local preference, or those contracts which may potentially be eligible for full or partial funding or reimbursement as part of any grant, disaster relief, or other program that precludes this local preference."

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Do not approve the revised policy and provide direction to staff.
