Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue purchase orders and enter into an agreement with Hach Company, to furnish, deliver, and maintain four (4) ammonia analyzers at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, and to furnish and deliver one (1) waste water sampler to the North Side Water Reclamation Plant. These purchase orders will expire December 31, 2010.
Hach Company, the sole source provider of the parts and services, has submitted prices for the parts and services required. Inasmuch as Hach Company 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).
Hach Company is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois. The parts are manufactured in the United States and Germany.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because of the specialized nature of the work. If trade work is required, in-house trades will perform the work.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue purchase orders and enter into an agreement with Hach Company, in an amount not to exceed $47,005.07.
Funds are available in Accounts 101-67000, 69000-612650, 623070, 623570.
Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:JN:ms
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 July 8, 2010
