COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT

 

Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director

 

Title

Issue purchase order and enter into an agreement with AT&T Corp., for Telemetry Services, in an amount not to exceed $1,166,060.00, Accounts 101-27000/66000/67000/68000/69000-612210, Requisitions 1399641, 1399644

Body

 

Dear Sir:

 

Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with AT&T Corp., for 24 months of point to point telemetry services.  This purchase order will expire on February 28, 2018.

 

AT&T Corp., the sole service provider of telemetry services to all District facilities has submitted prices for the services required.  Inasmuch as AT&T Corp. is the only source of supply for the services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).

 

AT&T Corp., 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 AT&T Corp. in an amount not to exceed $1,166,060.00.

 

Funds for the 2016 expenditure, in the amount of $486,525.00, are available in Accounts 101-27000/66000/67000/68000/69000-612210.  The estimated expenditure for 2017 is $583,030.00 and 2018 is $96,505.00.  Funds for the 2017 and 2018 expenditures are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for those years.

 

Requested, John Sudduth, Director of Information Technology, JS:SK:RP:EW:TM

Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations:MJ

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 February 4, 2016
