Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Kusters Zima Corporation, to provide one (1) Kusters D703730 lower screw and one (1) Kusters D793736 upper screw, required for repair of the Kusters Grit Classifiers, model VGC 48, located at the aerated grit facility at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. Delivery of these screws will occur no later than 10 weeks after vendor receipt of the purchase order.
Kusters Zima Corporation, the sole authorized distributor for all components and parts for Kusters Grit Classifiers, has submitted pricing for these screws. Inasmuch as Kusters Zima Corporation is the only provider for these required repair parts, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids. (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Kusters Zima Corporation 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, is not included because Kusters Zima Corporation 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 Kusters Zima Corporation in an amount not to exceed $29,750.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-623270.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:np
Respectfully Submitted, Marcellino Garcia, 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 March 7, 2024
