(A) Any purchase of supplies or services with an estimated cost of $50,000 or more must be approved by the Board of Commissioners.
(B) Any purchasing agent may make purchases of supplies and services with an estimated cost of less than $50,000 without the prior approval of the Board of Commissioners, provided however, that those purchases must otherwise comply with these rules and applicable state law, and provided further that no department may make a purchase which, together with other expenditures, exceeds the budget for that department.
(C) The cost of a single purchase may not be divided into two or more purchases for the purpose of avoiding this restriction on the purchasing agent’s authority.
