PWC's Utility Field Services Department seeks approval to purchase specific equipment pursuant to a sole source exception to the competitive bidding requirements. North Carolina law allows an exception from the competitive bidding requirements for "Purchases of apparatus, supplies, materials, or equipment when: (i) performance or price competition for a product are not available; (ii) a needed product is available from only one source of supply; or (iii) standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration." NCGS ?143-129(e)(6).
Sensus has provided documentation establishing that Ferguson Waterworks is the sole Authorized Distributor of Sensus products in North Carolina.
