BACKGROUND:
On March 15, 2020, pursuant to NRS 414 and Clark County Code 3.04, the County Manager declared a State of Emergency in the County of Clark, Nevada as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to NRS 414.090(3), Clark County executed various Agreements for the health and safety of the residents of Clark County outside of the County's existing purchasing practices. Staff seeks ratification of Agreements and Amendments entered into in response to the declaration of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On April 6, 2021 the Board of County Commissioners received a report on emergency Agreements executed through February 22, 2021. This report includes Amendments to those Agreement and new Agreements executed through July 31, 2021.
Until such time as the current declaration of emergency expires, it may be necessary to periodically exercise exceptions to existing purchasing practices. At the expiration of the declaration, a report will be provided identifying all such exceptions.
In accordance with NRS 332.112.2, if the authorized representative, chief administrative officer or governing body of the local government determines that an emergency exists affecting the public health, safety or welfare, a contract or contracts necessary to contend with the emergency may be let without complying with the requirements of NRS Chapter 332. If such emergency action was taken by the authorized representative or chief administrative officer, he or she shall report it to the governing body at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
