An Emergency Purchase can be approved by the County Manager if there is an immediate danger to public health, safety or welfare or threat of substantial loss to the County. An Emergency Purchase form must be submitted by the Department Head to be approved by the County Manager. Section 4.4(b) of the Nassau County Purchasing Policy states that the County Manager must notify the Board.
On August 9, 2017, the County Manager was notified by Road & Bridge that several dirt roads in the County had been washed out due to large amounts of rain and that residents could not access their properties. Road & Bridge did an emergency purchase of crushcrete from JB Coxwell Contracting to be applied to those roads for an immediate repair because the County's millings contractor could not provide millings until the following day.
The Emergency Certification and associated Requisition are attached for informational purposes. |
