Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order (PO) and enter into an agreement with Millipore Corporation, for a service plan for eight (8) Millipore Water Purification Systems at the Egan Organic Compounds and Stickney Industrial Waste Analytical Laboratories of the Monitoring and Research Department. This PO will expire on February 28, 2013.
Millipore Corporation, the sole-service provider of a service plan for eight (8) Millipore Water Purification Systems has submitted pricing for the services required. Inasmuch as Millipore Corporation 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).
Millipore Corporation 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 PO and enter into an agreement with Millipore Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $49,969.52.
Funds for the 2010 expenditure, in the amount of $16,250.90, are available in Account 101-16000-612970. The estimated expenditure for 2011 is $17,182.40 and 2012 is $16,536.22. Funds for the 2011 and 2012 expenditures are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for those years.
Requested, Louis Kollias, Director of Monitoring and Research, LK:TG:MPC:KB:op\bk
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
