Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Laboratory Synergy L.L.C. (Lab Synergy) to furnish and deliver maintenance, parts and supplies for Schott Titration Systems at various locations. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2018.
Lab Synergy, the sole-service provider to furnish and deliver maintenance, parts and supplies for Schott Titration Systems at various locations has submitted pricing for the goods and services required. Inasmuch as Lab Synergy is the only source of supply for the goods and services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Lab Synergy is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable due to the specialized nature of the services required.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Lab Synergy, in an amount not to exceed $43,200.00.
Funds for the 2016 expenditure, in the amount of $21,600.00 are being requested in Account 101-16000-612970. The estimated expenditure for 2017 is $21,600.00. Funds for the 2016 and 2017 expenditures are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for those years.
Requested, Thomas C. Granato, Director of Monitoring and Research, TCG:MPC:KB:mh
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
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 November 19, 2015
