TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF DECEMBER 3, 2015
COMMITTEE ON Procurement
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Issue purchase order and enter into an agreement with Cavanaugh & Associates, for forensic psychiatric evaluation services, for a one year period, in an amount not to exceed $20,000.00, Account 101-25000-612260, Requisition 1411204
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Cavanaugh & Associates for forensic psychiatric evaluation services, for a one year period. The purchase order would commence January 1, 2016 and expire on December 31, 2016.
Cavanaugh & Associates has provided the District with the specialized medical services necessary for certain employee evaluations in the past. Because Cavanaugh & Associates can provide continuity of services for such employment cases, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Cavanaugh & Associates 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 Cavanaugh & Associates, in an amount not to exceed $20,000.00.
Funds are being requested in 2016, in Account 101-25000-612260, and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners' approval of the District's budget for that year.
Requested, Denice E. Korcal, Director of Human Resources, DEK:RJB
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 December 3, 2015
