Title
Issue purchase order to Mid-America Pump & Supply, Inc., to Furnish and Deliver a replacement storm water pump and various parts for maintenance at the Markham Harvey Reservoir, in an amount not to exceed $35,500.00, Accounts 101-68000-623270, 634650, Requisition 1563581
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Mid-America Pump & Supply, Inc., to furnish and deliver a replacement storm water pump and parts for maintenance at the Markham Harvey Reservoir. The reservoir is part of the Little Calumet River Watershed which is in Cook and Will County in Illinois. All parts will be delivered before December 31, 2021.
Mid-America Pump & Supply, Inc., the sole source provider for the storm water pump and parts, has submitted prices for the parts required. Inasmuch as Mid-America Pump & Supply, 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).
Mid-America Pump & Supply, Inc. is not registered to transact business in Illinois, but it is registered, active and in good standing with the State of Nebraska. The Director of Maintenance and Operations has requested to move forward with the recommendation to award. The Director of Procurement and Materials Management concurs.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D and Appendix V is not included because Mid-America Pump & Supply, Inc. is the sole provider of these parts.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Mid-America Pump & Supply, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $35,500.00.
Funds are available in Accounts 101-68000-623270, 634650.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:JK
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 June 17, 2021
