Body
Dear Sir:
On November 15, 2012, the Board of Commissioners authorized the District to enter into an agreement with the Public Building Commission of Chicago (PBC) to conduct an energy audit of all buildings and to participate in the Multi-Agency Guaranteed Energy Performance Contracting Program.
On March 6, 2014, the Board of Commissioners authorized the PBC to conduct the Investment Grade Energy Audit Phase, as part of the Intergovernmental Agreement. The Investment Grade Audits were completed by Noresco, an Energy Service Company (ESCO) chosen by the District as best qualified for this task.
Under the Investment Grade Energy Audit Report, one of the beneficial projects identified is the replacement of the boiler at the 125th Street Pumping Station.
With the input and approval of the District as to terms and conditions, at this time the PBC will now enter into a contract directly with Noresco to implement the Boiler Replacement at the 125th Street Pumping Station.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D will be included in the boiler replacement contract. The type of work to be performed under the contract is within the “Mechanical” category for establishing Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE), Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE) and Small Business Enterprises (SBE) utilization goals. The WBE, MBE and SBE utilization goals for this contract are: 12% MBE, 6% WBE and 6% SBE.
It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into agreement with PBC to implement a boiler replacement at the 125th Street Pumping Station in an amount not to exceed $378,842.00.
Funds are being requested in 2016 in Account 201-50000-612430 and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for that year.
