Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue purchase orders to Drydon Equipment, Inc., to furnish and deliver repair parts for Hayward Gordon pumps and Parkson screens to the Egan and Stickney Water Reclamation Plants. The purchase orders will expire December 31, 2011.
Drydon Equipment, Inc., the sole source provider of the equipment, has submitted prices for the equipment required. Inasmuch as Drydon Equipment, 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).
Drydon Equipment, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois. The equipment is manufactured or assembled in the United States, Germany, and Canada.
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 Drydon Equipment, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $25,000.00.
Funds are being requested in 2011, in Accounts 101-67000, 69000-623270, and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for that year.
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
