COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to rescind Board Order to issue purchase order with Drydon Equipment, Inc., to Furnish and Deliver one Swaby Lobeline rotary lobe pump to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $46,400.00, Account 201-50000-634650, Requisition 1481577, Agenda Item No. 20, File No. 17-1325
Body
Dear Sir:
On December 21, 2017, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue purchase order with Drydon Equipment, Inc., to Furnish and Deliver one Swaby Lobeline rotary lobe pump to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $46,400.00.
On January 16, 2018, the Board of Commissioners authorized issuing a purchase order and entering into an agreement with Drydon Equipment, Inc., to furnish and deliver one Swaby Lobeline rotary lobe pump for delivery required on or before June 1, 2018.
After the authorization was granted, it has been determined that this pump should not be purchased, and the Engineering Department believes that it is in the best interest of the District to rescind the previous Board authorization of December 21, 2017. No further action will be taken at this time.
In view of the foregoing, the Director of Procurement and Materials Management recommends the rescission of the Board Order with Drydon Equipment, Inc., to furnish and deliver one Swaby Lobeline rotary lobe pump, in an amount not to exceed $46,400.00, approved at the December 21, 2017 Board meeting.
Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, ECB:PO’B
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 15, 2018
