Mr. Richard Lanyon, General Superintendent
Title
Issue a purchase order to Doonan Environmental, LLC, to furnish and deliver Calgon carbon replacement canisters to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $10,100.00, Account 101-69000-623270 (Req. 1225610)
Body
Dear Sir:
Approval is requested to issue a purchase order to Doonan Environmental, LLC, to furnish and deliver Calgon carbon replacement canisters to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $10,100.00.
Doonan Environmental, LLC, the manufacturer’s representative and sole source of supply, has submitted pricing for the required Calgon carbon replacement canisters. Inasmuch as Doonan Environmental, LLC, is the only source for the replacement canisters requested, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Doonan Environmental, LLC, is not authorized to transact business in Illinois, but has submitted a certificate of active standing from the State of Iowa. The Maintenance and Operation Department has received approval from the General Superintendent to move forward with the recommendation to award.
In view of the above, it is recommended that the Purchasing Agent be authorized to issue a purchase order to Doonan Environmental, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $10,100.00, for the material required.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is a furnish and deliver purchase order.
Funds for this expenditure are available in the account 101-69000-623270.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Chief of Maintenance and Operations, DAL:SEB:JN:mb
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Purchasing Agent
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
ORDERED passed by affirmative roll call vote of a majority of the Commissioners present this February 21, 2008. Approved, President Terrence J. O’Brien
