Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with AT&T Corp., for four months of point to point telemetry services. This purchase order will expire on February 29, 2016.
AT&T Corp., the sole service provider of Telemetry Services to all District facilities has submitted prices for the services required. Inasmuch as AT&T Corp. is the only source of supply for the services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
AT&T Corp., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable due to the specialized nature of the services required.
In view of the foregoing it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with AT&T Corp., in an amount not to exceed $303,138.84.
Funds are available in Accounts 101-66000/67000/68000/69000-612210.
