For such procurements in excess of one thousand dollars but not exceeding ten thousand dollars, the commission must secure three quotes by telephone, fax, or other means without the requirement for soliciting bids through a formal request for proposals (RFP) and then choose the most costeffective and responsive bid.

A permanent record shall be kept by the commission of all its proceedings, contracts, and other matters done and performed by it, including an accurate plan of the work done, and proper books shall be kept, showing in detail all monies and funds received and disbursed by it. The books of the commission shall be audited annually, and at such other times as the Supervising Auditor of Charleston County shall direct, by a certified public accountant and a copy of the audit filed with the county council. All books and records of the commission shall be open at all reasonable times to the inspection of any citizen of the district.”
