Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Howden Roots, LLC, for technical field services for blowers at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, on an as needed basis. The purchase order will expire December 31, 2017.

The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because of the specialized nature of the work.
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 Howden Roots, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $13,400.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-612650.
