Mr. Richard Lanyon, Executive Director
Title
Issue purchase order to Marshall-Bond Pumps, Inc., to Furnish and Deliver Parts for Dorr-Oliver Grinders at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $90,000.00, Account 101-69000-623270, Requisition 1313282
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Marshall-Bond Pumps, Inc., to furnish and deliver parts for the Dorr-Oliver Grinders at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2012.
Marshall-Bond Pumps, Inc., the sole source provider of the parts, has submitted prices for the parts required. Inasmuch as Marshall-Bond Pumps, 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).
Marshall-Bond Pumps, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois. The parts are manufactured in the United States.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is 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 Marshall-Bond Pumps, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $90,000.00.
Funds are being requested in 2011 and 2012, in Account 101-69000-623270, in the amount of $45,000.00 for each year, and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for those years.
Requested, Manju Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:JN:sk
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 for November 4, 2010
