Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Emerson Process Management Power and Water Solutions, Inc., to furnish and deliver the components to assemble two process automation controller (PAC) systems for the Chicago River Controlling Works (CRCW) North and South gate buildings. The purchase order will expire on December 31, 2018.
Emerson Process Management Power and Water Solutions, Inc., the sole source provider, has submitted prices for the components. Inasmuch as Emerson Process Management Power and Water Solutions, Inc., is the only source of supply for the components, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Emerson Process Management Power and Water Solutions, Inc., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is primarily a furnish and deliver order.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Emerson Process Management Power and Water Solutions, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $56,257.00.
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-634620.
Requested, Brett A. Garelli, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations
