§ 102-361. Multiple awards; limitations on multiple awards.
(a)
Multiple awards. Unless otherwise provided in this section, or unless otherwise provided by law, two or more offerors may be awarded separate county contracts, at the discretion of the county, on the basis of one solicitation for the same or similar work, supplies or services if the county reserves the right to do so in the solicitation. Multiple contracts may be awarded, at the discretion of the county, for the procurement of annual contracts for supplies, annual contracts for construction, annual contracts for services, and annual contracts for professional and consultant services. Notwithstanding anything contained in this section, however, if multiple awards are not anticipated in a solicitation prior to the deadline established for receipt of bids, proposals or quotations, multiple awards shall not be made under that solicitation.
(b)
Prohibition against multiple awards for the procurement of construction, services or professional and consultant services that are not annual contracts. Except as provided in subsection (a) of this section, or unless otherwise provided by law, multiple county contracts shall not be awarded under one solicitation for the procurement of construction, services or professional and consultant services which are not annual contracts.
(c)
Inapplicability. This section shall not apply to the purchase, sale or disposition of real estate, nor shall this section apply to grant agreements, intergovernmental agreements or emergency procurements.
