Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Motorola Solutions, Inc., for Starcom21 Radio Network Access. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2014.
Motorola Solutions, Inc., the sole service provider of Starcom21 Regional Interoperable Radio System Access, has submitted prices for the services required. Inasmuch as Motorola Solutions, Inc. is the only source of supply for the services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Motorola Solutions, Inc. 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 Motorola Solutions, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $19,950.00.
Funds for the 2013 expenditure, in the amount of $3,990.00, are available in Account 101-15000-612840. The estimated expenditure for 2014 is $15,960.00. Funds for the 2014 expenditures are contingent upon the Board of Commissioners' approval of the District's budget for that year.
Requested, Eileen McElligott, Administrative Services Manager, BKS:SL:WG:PJC
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
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 October 3, 2013
