Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Teledyne Tekmar Company for a technical support agreement for existing Teledyne Tekmar Equipment at the Egan Organic Compound Analytical Laboratory of the Monitoring and Research Department. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2013.
Teledyne Tekmar Company, the sole-service provider of a technical support agreement for existing Teledyne Tekmar Equipment, has submitted pricing for the services, parts and supplies required. Inasmuch as Teledyne Tekmar Company is the only source of supply for the services, parts and supplies required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Teledyne Tekmar Company 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 Teledyne Tekmar Company, in an amount not to exceed $19,710.00.
Funds are being requested in 2011, 2012 and 2013, in Account 101-16000-612970, and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for those years. The estimated expenditure for 2011 is $6,570.00, 2012 is $6,570.00 and 2013 is $6,570.00.
Requested, Louis Kollias, Director of Monitoring and Research, LK:TG:MPC:KB:jg
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
