TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF JUNE 6, 2013
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Issue purchase order to Hydro-Kinetics, Corp., to Furnish and Deliver One Gorman-Rupp Sump Pump at the Mainstream Pumping Station, in an amount not to exceed $28,821.00, Account 101-69000-623270, Requisition 1352025
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Hydro-Kinetics, Corp., to furnish and deliver one sump pump at the Mainstream Pumping Station. This purchase order will expire December 31, 2013.
Hydro-Kinetics, Corp., the sole source provider of the Gorman-Rupp sump pump, has submitted pricing for the pump required. Inasmuch as Hydro-Kinetics, Corp., is the only source of supply for the pump required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Hydro-Kinetics, Corp., is not registered to transact business in Illinois, but has submitted a certificate of good standing from the State of Missouri. The Department of Procurement and Materials Management has received approval of the Executive Director to move forward with the recommendation to award.
The pump was manufactured or assembled in the United States.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is primarily a furnish and deliver order.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Hydro-Kinetics, Corp., in an amount not to exceed $28,821.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-623270.
Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:JN:sk
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 6, 2013
