      SENATE BILL 399

      By:  Senators Crotts of the 17th and Guhl of the 45th


                        A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
                               AN ACT


  1- 1  To amend an Act entitled "An Act to create a board of
  1- 2  commissioners for Rockdale County," approved March 4, 1977
  1- 3  (Ga. L. 1977, p. 2817), as amended, so as to provide for the
  1- 4  advertising of bids for certain county expenditures; to
  1- 5  provide for emergency purchases; to repeal conflicting laws;
  1- 6  and for other purposes.

  1- 7       BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

                         SECTION 1.

  1- 8  An Act entitled "An Act to create a board of commissioners
  1- 9  for Rockdale County," approved March 4, 1977 (Ga. L. 1977,
  1-10  p. 2817), is amended by striking in its entirety paragraph
  1-11  (19) of Section 10 and inserting in lieu thereof the
  1-12  following:

  1-13      "(19) To make purchases in amounts of $5,000.00 or more;
  1-14      provided, however, that for any purchases in such
  1-15      amounts, advertisements for bids shall first be
  1-16      published once a week for four consecutive weeks in the
  1-17      official organ of Rockdale County.  Formal sealed bids,
  1-18      after said advertising has been published, must be
  1-19      obtained on all purchases of $5,000.00 or more.  The
  1-20      purchase shall be made from the lowest responsible
  1-21      bidder, taking into consideration the quality of the
  1-22      articles to be supplied and conformity with  the
  1-23      specifications, the purposes for which said articles are
  1-24      required, the discount allowed for prompt payment, the
  1-25      transportation charges, and the date or dates of
  1-26      delivery.  Advertisement and the obtaining of formal
  1-27      bids may be dispensed with when, in the discretion of
  1-28      the board of commissioners, an emergency exists which
  1-29      will not permit a delay; provided, however, that any
  1-30      contract let pursuant to such an exemption because of an
  1-31      emergency shall be entered, as soon as practicable, on
  1-32      the minutes of the board of commissioners, and the
  1-33      nature of the emergency shall be described therein."
