Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue purchase orders to LAI, LTD., to furnish and deliver Wemco pump parts for the Egan, North Side, Calumet and Stickney Water Reclamation Plants. These purchase orders will expire on December 31, 2012.
LAI, LTD., the sole source provider of the Wemco parts, has submitted prices for the parts required. Inasmuch as LAI, LTD. 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).
LAI, LTD., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois. The parts are manufactured in the United States.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is a furnish and deliver contract.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue purchase orders to LAI, LTD., in an amount not to exceed $181,700.00.
Funds for 2011, in the amount of $88,500.00, are available in Accounts 101-67000, 68000, 69000-623270, and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for that year. The estimated expenditures for 2012 is $93,200.00 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:sk
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
