Title 3 REVENUE AND FINANCE
Chapter 3.08 PURCHASING
3.08.130 Authority to contract for certain professional services.
For the purpose of procuring any professional services not
included in the purchasing authority of this code and the ensuing regulations,
where the person is customarily contracted on a fee basis rather than by
competitive bidding (e.g., clergy, dentists, physicians), a county
department/division/unit may act as a purchasing agent and contract on its own
behalf for such services, subject to this code and regulations. Any county
department/division/ unit, who obligates the county for such services without
the review and approval of the contract document by the chief purchasing officer
and/or the county administrator will be held personally liable for said contract
and will be subject to penalties under Section 3.08.100. In addition, contracts
must be signed by the county administrator in order to be valid or the
department/division/unit must have written designation by the county
administrator to sign the contract document in order for the contract to be
considered valid. Any violations will be subject to penalties under Section
3.08.100. (Ord. 03-O-04 (part), 2003)
