Issue Purchase Order to Omi Industries, Inc., to Furnish and Deliver Ecosorb 806 Odor Neutralizers to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $175,000.00, Account 101-68000-623560, Requisition 1664290
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Omi Industries, Inc. to furnish and deliver Ecosorb 806 odor neutralizers to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. All items will be delivered before December 31, 2026.
Omi Industries, Inc., the sole source provider for the Ecosorb 806 odor neutralizers, has submitted pricing for the odor neutralizers as required. Inasmuch as Omi Industries, Inc. is the only source of supply for the odor neutralizers required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Omi Industries, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable because the requirement does not fall under the provisions of the MPLA.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D and Appendix V are not included because Omi Industries, Inc. is the sole provider of these parts.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Omi Industries, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $175,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-623560.
Requested, Edward J. Staudacher, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:ds
Respectfully Submitted, Precious Brady-Davis, Chairperson Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for October 1, 2026
