Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Remtech Services, LLC to furnish and deliver one (1) Crystal Growth Enhancement Device (CGED) Wet Mill for the Ostara Phosphorus Recovery Facility at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. All equipment will be delivered by December 31, 2025.
The CGED Wet Mill will allow the Ostara facility to produce its own seed needed for the formation of the PEARL specialty fertilizer. Remtech Services, LLC will provide the Wet Mill, including all mechanical and electrical parts, and interfaces for the SCADA PLC control. Remtech Services, LLC will also provide a full one-year warranty on all parts and equipment. The installation, maintenance and repair services of the mill will be performed by in-house tradespersons.
Remtech Services, LLC, the manufacturer and sole source provider of the CGED Wet Mill, has submitted prices for the equipment required. Inasmuch as Remtech Services, LLC is the only source of supply for the equipment, said purchase order may be issued without competitive bidding pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act.
Remtech Services, LLC is not registered to transact business in the State of Illinois, but it is registered, active and in good standing with the State of Texas. The Director of Maintenance and Operations has requested to move forward with the recommendation to issue a purchase order. The Director of Procurement and Materials Management concurs.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable because the requirement does not fall under the provisions of the MPLA.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D and Appendix V is not included because Remtech Services, LLC is the sole provider of this equipment.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Remtech Services, LLC in an amount not to exceed $98,722.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-634650.
