Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., to furnish and deliver four Smith & Loveless pump rotating assemblies to the Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2012.
Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., is the sole source Smith and Loveless representative in the Chicago, Illinois territory and the only contracted supplier of Smith and Loveless equipment. Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., has submitted prices for the parts required. Inasmuch as, Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., is the only source of supply for the parts required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $81,772.00.
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-645750.
