TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF MAY 7, 2020
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Issue purchase orders and enter into an agreement with Johnson Controls, Inc., to Provide Three Year Service Maintenance at the Mainstreet Pumping Station (MSPS), and the Stickney, Calumet, and Egan Water Reclamation Plants (WRPs), in an amount not to exceed $81,000.00, Account 101-69000-612680, Requisition 1540233
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Johnson Controls, Inc., to maintain and repair both the access and control and monitoring systems at the Mainstreet Pumping Station, and the Stickney, Calumet, and Egan Water Reclamation Plants. The systems allow police access and regress monitoring, along with the preprogramming and control of auto lock passage doors and the gates at the Egan and Kirie WPR’s. These systems also are interfaced with the video monitoring feed at the MSPS and the card reader system at the Main Office Building (MOB).
Johnson Controls, Inc., is the sole source provider for the supply of factory-trained and certified technicians to service the District’s P2000 access control panel and its associated panels. Nothing would be gained by the advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Johnson Controls, Inc., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable due to the nature of the work involved.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V are not included because the estimate is less than the minimum threshold established by Section 4 of the Affirmative Action Ordinance.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Johnson Controls, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $81,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-612680.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:JK
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 May 7, 2020
