Mr. Richard Lanyon, General Superintendent
Title
Issue purchase order to Trojan Technologies, Inc., to Furnish and Deliver Trojan Equipment for Project 07-528-AP, Ultraviolet Disinfection Pilot Study at the Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $183,000.00, Account 101-50000-634650, Requisition 1245067
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Trojan Technologies, Inc., to furnish and deliver Trojan Equipment for Ultraviolet Disinfection Pilot Study at the Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant.
The District has initiated a side-by-side study for UV disinfection technologies at the Hanover Park WRP. Trojan Technologies has been selected as one of the manufacturers to provide equipment for this study. Trojan Technologies, Inc., the sole service provider of Trojan Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipment, has submitted prices for the supply of Trojan UV3000 Plus disinfection system, a flow meter, and submersible pump with VFD and control panel. Inasmuch as Trojan Technologies, Inc., is the only source of supply for the material and services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Trojan Technologies, Inc. is registered and in good standing with State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable, since this request is primarily a furnish and deliver purchase order.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Purchasing Agent be authorized to issue a purchase order to Trojan Technologies, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $183,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-50000-634650.
Requested, Joseph Sobanski, Chief Engineer, JPS:TEK:GR:BB
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Purchasing Agent
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
