Title
Issue purchase order to Drydon Equipment, Inc., to Furnish and Deliver One Hayward Gordon Replacement Primary Sludge Pump and Casing to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount of not to exceed $46,168.00, Account 201-50000-634650, Requisition 1400331
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Drydon Equipment, Inc., to furnish and deliver one Hayward Gordon replacement primary sludge pump and casing to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant.
The pump will replace an approximately five (5) year old pump with accelerated wear due to excessive grit flow through the sludge pump.
Drydon Equipment, Inc., the sole source provider of the pump, has submitted pricing as required. Inasmuch as Drydon Equipment, Inc., is the only source of supply for the replacement primary sludge pump and casing required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Drydon Equipment, Inc., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is a furnish and deliver contract.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to Drydon Equipment, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $46,168.00.
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-634650.
Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:CD:jk
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 August 6, 2015
