BACKGROUND
By approval of this action, the Gaston County Board of Commissioners finds that the financing of the acquisition of the vehicles and other items costing up to $1,099,728 pursuant to the terms of an installment purchase contract with Bank of America Capital Corp. is in the best interests of Gaston County and hereby authorizes the execution of such contract. The County staff received 4 bids for the financing and recommends Bank of America Capital Corp. as the lowest responsible bidder at a rate of 1.7832% for the thirty-six month term. The Board designates the obligations of the County to make payment under the proposed installment purchase contract as “non-bank qualified obligations” in accordance with the provisions of Section 265 (b)(3)(ii) of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended. If any of the equipment or other items on the list are received before the financing documents are fully executed, the County staff is authorized, if necessary to make payment directly to the appropriate vendor and to obtain subsequent reimbursement from the financial institution providing the financing.
