Title
Issue purchase order to LAI. Ltd., to Furnish and Deliver a Worthington Pump Casing to the Kirie Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $83,713.00, Account 101-67000-623270, Requisition 1241716
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to LAI, Ltd., to furnish and deliver a Worthington pump casing to the Kirie Water Reclamation Plant. The purchase order will expire on December 31, 2008.
LAI, Ltd., the sole source provider of Worthington pumps parts, has submitted a price for the pump casing required. Inasmuch as LAI, Ltd., is the only source of supply for the pump casing required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
LAI, Ltd. is in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because the requirement is for a furnish and deliver contract.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Purchasing Agent be authorized to issue a purchase order to LAI, Ltd., in an amount not to exceed $83,713.00, including freight.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-623270.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Chief of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Purchasing Agent, DAL:SEB:JN:sk
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
ORDERED passed by affirmative roll call vote of a majority of the Commissioners present this June 5, 2008. Approved, President Terrence J. O’Brien
