Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications have been prepared to furnish and deliver automatic samplers. This contract begins upon the award of the purchase order and expires on December 31, 2012.
The purpose of this contract is to provide automatic samplers, which are used by the Monitoring and Research Department's Industrial Waste Division to collect samples of discharges from industrial facilities and other locations in the Cook County area. The equipment will be used by the pollution control officer/environmental specialist personnel at the North Side Water Reclamation Plant, Stickney Water Reclamation Plant and Calumet Water Reclamation Plant.
The new samplers will replace older units that are broken beyond repair or obsolete. These older units will be retained for spare parts and used as emergency back-up devices. With the new automatic samplers, sampling can be conducted during non-working hours, and personnel need not be present to continuously monitor discharges from various locations.
The estimated cost for this contract is $48,900.00.
A bid deposit is not required for this contract.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable to this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
