Title
Authorization for payment to the U.S. Water Alliance for the 2015 Value of Water Coalition (Coalition) Membership in an amount not to exceed $20,000.00, Account 101-15000-612280
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to make payment to the U.S. Water Alliance for the 2015 Value of Water Coalition (Coalition) Membership in an amount not to exceed $20,000.00.
The Coalition is made up of both public and private members of the water industry, who have come together at a time when our infrastructure is at risk. The Coalition aims to educate the public on the importance of clean, safe, and reliable water to and from every home and community, and to help ensure quality water service for future generations. The Coalition is presently managed by the U.S. Water Alliance.
Inasmuch as the Coalition membership is not available through any other source, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize payment, by direct voucher, to the U.S. Water Alliance, in an amount not to exceed $20,000.00. Funds are available in Account 101-15000-612280.
Requested, Eileen M. McElligott, Administrative Services Manager, BKS
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
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 March 5, 2015
