Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue purchase orders and enter into an agreement with Nu-Recycling Technology, Inc., for a Full-Service Lease and Maintenance Agreement for two Odor Control Systems. The purchase order will expire on December 31, 2017. The equipment is being used temporarily to address the odor concern at the Stickney Plant near the Imhoff tanks. These tanks will be removed and replaced with new primary tanks in three years.
Nu-Recycling Technology, Inc., the sole source for the services and equipment required, has submitted pricing for the services and equipment required. Inasmuch as this firm is the only source of supply for the services and equipment required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Nu-Recycling Technology, Inc., is registered and in good standing to transact business in Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because of the specialized nature of the work involved.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue purchase orders and enter into agreements with Nu-Recycling Technology, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $136,500.00.
Funds for the 2015 expenditure, in the amount of $45,500.00, are available in Accounts 101-69000-612490, 623560. The estimated expenditures for 2016 and 2017 are $45,500.00 and $45,500.00 respectively, and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners' approval of the District's budget for those years.
Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:JN:slk
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for April 9, 2015
