COMMITTEE ON PURCHASING
Mr. Richard Lanyon, General Superintendent
Title
Issue purchase order to Gardner Denver Nash LLC, to Furnish and Deliver Replacement Parts for Nash Compressors, to the Egan Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $90,000.00, Account 101-67000-623270, Requisition 1246668
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Gardner Denver Nash LLC, to furnish and deliver replacement parts for Nash compressors to the Egan Water Reclamation Plant. The purchase order will expire on June 30, 2009.
Gardner Denver Nash LLC, the sole source provider of the replacement parts, has submitted a quote for the parts required. Inasmuch as Gardner Denver Nash LLC is the only source of supply for the replacement parts required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Gardner Denver Nash LLC is in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because the requirement is for a furnish and deliver contract.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Purchasing Agent be authorized to issue a purchase order to Gardner Denver Nash LLC, in an amount not to exceed $90,000.00.
Funds for the 2008 expenditures in the amount of $20,000.00, are available in Account 101-67000-623270. The estimated expenditures for 2009 are $70,000.00. Funds for 2009 expenditures are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for that year.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Chief of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Purchasing Agent, DAL:SEB:JN:SK
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for August 14, 2008.
