Title
Issue purchase order to AT&T Corporation to Furnish and Deliver point to point data connectivity between the Egan and Kirie Plants, in an amount not to exceed $12,230.12, Account 101-67000-612210, Requisition 1394409
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to AT&T Corporation to furnish and deliver point to point data connectivity between the Egan and Kirie Plants for a 12-month period to be used to monitor the flow of sludge between facilities. Due to the equipment supplied by the DCS vendor an older point to point data circuit is required for secure communications. This point to point data circuit can only be supplied by AT&T Corporation. This purchase order is for the period of January 15, 2015 to December 16, 2015.
AT&T Corporation will continue to bill the District per tariff rates established with the State of Illinois. Inasmuch as AT&T Corporation is the only source of supply for this service, said purchase order may be issued without competitive bidding pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act.
AT&T Corporation is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable to this contract because it is primarily 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 AT&T Corporation in an amount not to exceed $12,230.12.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-612210.
Requested, John Sudduth, Director of Information Technology, JS:RP:TM

Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
