Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue purchase orders to Gardner Denver, Inc., to furnish and deliver spare parts for the Gardner Denver Hoffman blowers at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant and to repair blowers at the Devon Instream Aeration Station. The purchase order to furnish and deliver spare parts for the Gardner Denver Hoffman blowers will expire December 31, 2013 and the purchase order to repair blowers at the Devon Instream Aeration Station will expire December 31, 2012.
Gardner Denver, Inc., the sole source provider of the equipment, has submitted prices for the equipment required. Inasmuch as Gardner Denver, Inc. is the only source of supply for the equipment required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Gardner Denver, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois. The equipment is manufactured or assembled in the United States.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is primarily a furnish and deliver requirement.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue purchase orders to Gardner Denver, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $57,400.00.
The estimated expenditures for 2011 are $21,400.00, for 2012 are $26,000.00, and for 2013 are $10,000.00. Funds for the 2011, 2012, and 2013 expenditures are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for those years.
Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, 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 December 2, 2010
