Mr. John P. Murray, Acting Executive Director
Title
Issue purchase order to Flow-Technics, Inc., to Furnish and Deliver Sludge Pumps for the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $214,645.00, Account 201-50000-634650, Requisition 1495165
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Flow-Technics, Inc., to furnish and deliver eight (8) sludge pumps for the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. The pumps will be delivered by December 31, 2018.
Flow-Technics, Inc., the sole source provider for the Xylem sludge pumps, submitted prices for these sludge pumps as required. These will be used for the Pre-Digestion Centrifuge, Gravity Sludge Thickening and Digester Facilities at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. Inasmuch as Flow-Technics, Inc., is the only source of supply for these sludge pumps, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Flow-Technics, Inc., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable to this contract because this is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Flow-Technics, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $214,645.00.
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-634650.
Requested, Brett Garelli, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:es
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 June 7, 2018
