12 Miss. Code. R. 3-2.1-200.13 - BUREAU'S RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY REQUESTS

If after reporting to the Bureau's Director, it is determined funds are available and an emergency exists, the Bureau Staff will make an on-site inspection and determine what action should be taken. There are two (2) options. If the repairs can be made using routine bidding practices, this is preferable. If, however, repairs are needed immediately, the following procedures will be followed:

1. If an emergency exists and delay incident to giving opportunity for competitive bidding would be detrimental to the interest of the Using Agency, competitive bidding will not apply and such emergency purchases and repairs will take place as deemed appropriate by the Bureau.

2. The Director of the Bureau will ask the Bureau Staff to obtain at least two (2) written quotes for the repairs. The low bid will be authorized to commence work.

3. At the next PPRB meeting, the Director of the Bureau will present the emergency award for their confirmation and approval by certifying to the emergency. [See Appendix 200.]
