Mr. Richard Lanyon, Executive Director
Title
Issue purchase order to Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., to Furnish and Deliver One Comminutor and One Comminutor Rebuild Kit to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $52,698.00, Account 101-68000-623270, Requisition 1302500
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to furnish and deliver one comminutor and one comminutor rebuild kit at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. The purchase order will expire December 31, 2010.
Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., the sole source municipal market representative for Chicago Pump, Comminutor Products, has submitted prices for the equipment and parts required. Inasmuch as Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., is the only source of supply for the equipment and parts required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is primarily a furnish and deliver purchase order. The parts are manufactured in the United States.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $52,698.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-623270
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, 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 May 6, 2010
