Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Flow-Technics, Inc., to furnish and deliver Allis Chalmers and ITT Goulds Pump Parts at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant for a two year period. The purchase order will expire on December 31, 2012.
Flow-Technics, Inc., the sole source provider of the pump parts, has submitted prices for the parts required. Inasmuch as Flow-Technics, Inc., 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).
Flow-Technics, Inc., is registered and in good standing to transact business in Illinois.
The parts are manufactured or assembled 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 a purchase order to Flow Technics, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $140,000.00.
Funds are being requested in 2011 and 2012, in Account 101-68000-623270, in the amount of $70,000.00 for each year, and 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:bk
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 16, 2010
