Body
 
Dear Sir:
 
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Henry Pratt Company, LLC, for parts and technical services for Pratt valves at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant.  The purchase order will expire on December 31, 2014.
 
Henry Pratt Company, LLC, the sole source provider for parts and technical services for Pratt valves, has submitted prices for the parts and services required.  Inasmuch as Henry Pratt Company, LLC, is the only source of supply for the parts and services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
 
Henry Pratt Company, LLC, is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
 
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable due to the specialized nature of the services required.
 
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 Henry Pratt Company, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $19,800.00.
 
Funds for the 2013 expenditures in the amount of $9,900.00 are available in Accounts 101-69000-612650, 623090.  The estimated expenditures for 2014, in the amount of $9,900.000, are contingent on the Board of Commissioners' approval of the District's budget for that year.
 
Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:JN:bk
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
