(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Chapter 21G, a Granting Agency may award a Grant without conducting an open and competitive process under Sections 21G.4, 21G.5, and 21G.6, in accordance with the Purchaser’s rules and regulations. For Granting Agencies under the jurisdiction of a commission or a board, the Granting Agency shall not award a Grant without conducting an open and competitive process unless the commission or board approves the Granting Agency’s recommendation that the Grant be awarded as a sole source. Before awarding such a Grant, the Granting Agency shall recommend to the commission or board concerned the approval and award of a Grant pursuant to this subsection (a) and such commission or board may then adopt a resolution approving the justification of the sole source and awarding the Grant.
(b) If the form of the Grant is recurring to the same recipient, a determination made pursuant to subsection (a) must be supported by either a formal or informal documented competitive process within the last five years demonstrating the lack of potential Grantees.
(c) Grants for the four City-owned community cultural centers may be awarded as sole source Grants under this Section 21G.8 without complying with subsections (a) or (b).
