2020 CCOG U: Planner Training Series Scholarship Winner Announced

We congratulate Rohit Ammanamanchi, Planner & Zoning Administrator for the Village of Marvin, as a recipient of the 2020 CCOG U: Planner Training Series Scholarship.  Introduced in 2018, the CCOG U: Planner Training Series provides opportunities for the region’s planners and others to learn about topics that support and champion our region’s communities and improve the overall health and resilience of the greater Charlotte region.  Educational topics align with the priorities that emerged in the region’s growth plan, CONNECT Our Future. Centralina leads regional collaboration and sparks local action to expand opportunity and improve quality of life.  We do this through creative problem solving, innovative service delivery and support to our local governments. We are dedicated to this mission of public service with a regional spirt.  The CCOG U scholarship is supported by Section 2 of the APA NC Chapter and Centralina Council of Governments (CCOG).

When a construction or repair contract over $300,000 involves a building, the procurement and contract are subject to additional requirements under N.C.G.S. 143-128. Therefore, this question must be answered to determine whether the additional statutory requirements apply to this procurement scenario.

The micro-purchase threshold is a federal procurement threshold under which competitive procurement is not required. The default micro-purchase threshold is $15,000, but local governments may increase the micro-purchase threshold up to $50,000. An explanation of increasing the micro-purchase threshold and a template for the required annual self-certification is available here.
