Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Issue purchase order to Detection Instruments Corporation, to furnish and deliver odalogs, peripherals, and a data plan in an amount not to exceed $31,862.31, Account 101-16000-623570, Requisition 1456486
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Detection Instruments Corporation (Detection) to furnish and deliver Odalogs, peripherals, and a required data plan to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant for the purpose of monitoring odor concentrations in and around unit processes with suspected hydrogen sulfide emissions. These instruments are required for collecting data that is necessary for design of odor mitigation with respect to hydrogen sulfide emissions. All parts will be delivered by December 31, 2017.
Detection, the manufacturer and sole source of supply, has submitted pricing for the Odalogs, peripherals, and data plan. Inasmuch as Detection is the only source of supply for the Odalogs, peripherals, and data plan, said purchase order may be issued without competitive bidding pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act.
Detection is not registered to transact business in the State of Illinois, but has submitted a certificate of good standing from the State of Arizona. The Director of Monitoring and Research has given approval to move forward with the recommendation to issue.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable to this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver purchase order.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to Detection Instruments Corporation in an amount not to exceed $31,862.31.
Funds are available in Account 101-16000-623570.
Requested, Thomas C. Granato, Director of Monitoring and Research, TCG:EWP:MPC:HZ:AO:vv
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 March 16, 2017
