Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc., to furnish and deliver on-site site advance maintenance training for variable frequency drives. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2013.
Siemens Industry, Inc., the sole source provider the training, has submitted pricing for the training required. Inasmuch as Siemens Industry, Inc., is the only source of supply for the training required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).

The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable due to the specialized nature of the services involved.
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 Siemens Industry, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $21,200.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-601100.
