Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Gardner Denver Nash, LLC, to furnish and deliver two liquid ring vacuum pumps for the Racine Avenue Pumping Station and West Side Pumping Station. The purchase order will expire December 31, 2010.
Gardner Denver Nash, LLC, the sole source provider of the parts, has submitted prices for the parts required. Inasmuch as Gardner Denver Nash, LLC is the only source of supply for the parts required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Gardner Denver Nash, LLC, is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois. The pumps are manufactured in the United States.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is primarily a furnish and deliver order.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Gardner Denver Nash, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $54,763.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-623270.
Requested, Manju 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 September 2, 2010
