Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue purchase orders to Flow-Technics, Inc., to furnish and deliver Allis-Chalmers (A-C), Netzsch and Gould pumps and replacement pump parts to various locations. These purchase orders will expire on December 31, 2009.
Flow-Technics, Inc., the exclusive Allis-Chalmers (A-C) and Netzsch, Inc., and Gould representative and sole source of supply, has submitted prices for the pumps and replacement parts required. Inasmuch as Flow-Technics, Inc., is the only source of supply for all of the pumps and replacement pump parts required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Flow-Technics, Inc., is currently registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because it is primarily
a furnish and deliver contract.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Purchasing Agent be authorized to issue purchase orders to Flow-Technics, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,000,540.00.
Funds for the 2008 expenditures in the amount of $485,270.00 are available in Accounts 101-67000, 68000, 69000-623090, 623270. The estimated expenditure for 2009 is $515,270.00 and is contingent on the Board of Commissioner’s approval of the District’s budget for 2009.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Chief of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Purchasing Agent, DAL:SEB:JN:bk
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
Order passed by affirmative roll call vote of a majority of the Commissioners present this May 15, 2008.
Approved, President Terrence J. O’Brien
