Overview: North Carolina General Statute 160A-536 <https://www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/PDF/BySection/Chapter_160A/GS_160A-536.pdf> establishes requirements which municipalities must follow when deciding to contract with a private agency to provide services to a municipal service district (MSD). These include using a bid process to determine which agency is best suited to achieve the needs of the service district, entering into a contract not to exceed five years in length, and holding a public hearing prior to entering into a contract for services.
The Town’s current contract for services to the Downtown MSD has been in place since July 2016. The Town published a Request for Proposals <https://www.townofchapelhill.org/home/showpublisheddocument?id=48587> on April 1, 2021 for services during the fiscal year starting July 1, 2021. The submittal period closes at noon on Monday, April 19, 2021. The Council and the public will have a chance to review the proposals at a public hearing in May prior to awarding a contract in June.
