COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT

 

Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director

 

Title

Issue purchase orders to Telvent DTN, LLC., to Furnish and Deliver Weather Radar Information to the Stickney and Northside Water Reclamation Plants, in an amount not to exceed $16,544.00, Accounts 101-67000, 69000-612330, 612490, Requisitions 1406102 and 1430722

Body

 

Dear Sir:

 

Authorization is requested to issue purchase orders to Telvent DTN, LLC., to furnish and deliver weather radar information to the Stickney and Northside Water Reclamation Plants. The purchase orders will expire December 31, 2018.

 

Telvent DTN, LLC., the sole source provider for the weather radar information, submitted prices for the weather services required.  Inasmuch as Telvent DTN, LLC., 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).

 

Telvent DTN, LLC., 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 to provide weather radar information only.  

 

In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Telvent DTN, LLC., in an amount not to exceed $16,554.00.

 

Funds for the 2016 expenditures, in the amount of $5,352.00, are available in Accounts 101-67000, 69000-612330, 612490.  The estimated expenditures for 2017 is $5,513.00, and for 2018 is $5,679.00.  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 P. Murray, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations

Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:JN:slk

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 August 4, 2016
