Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to DLT Solutions, LLC, for Eagle Point Software Corporation’s Pinnacle Series software annual renewal for one year. This purchase order will be for the period starting November 26, 2024 and ending November 25, 2025.
AutoCAD is the computer-aided drafting and design (CAD) application used by both the Engineering and Maintenance and Operations departments. Pinnacle Series is a Software-as-a-Service training solution for comprehensive, self-paced professional learning, including video training, plug-ins and eBooks designed to maximize performance with Autodesk design engineering software. On July 27, 2023 Eagle Point Software Corporation acquired the CADLearning businesses owned by 4D Technologies. In addition, Eagle Point assumed responsibility for supporting CADLearning clients. After the acquisition the CADLearning name was retired.
DLT Solutions, LLC has submitted prices for the products required. DLT Solutions, LLC is the designated Government Sales Agent for Eagle Point Software Corporation, which in addition to hosting Pinnacle Series software, is the developer and creator of the content. Inasmuch as DLT Solutions, LLC is the only source of supply for Eagle Point Software Corporation’s Pinnacle Series software, said purchase order may be issued without competitive bidding pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act.
DLT Solutions, LLC is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because the classification of work does not fall within the provisions of the MPLA.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to DLT Solutions, LLC in an amount not to exceed $16,065.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-27000-612820.
