Body
Dear Sir:
A requisition has been received in the Purchasing Department, signed and approved by the Chief of Maintenance and Operations, for repairs and modifications of the ION Enterprise Energy Management Systems at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant and the Mainstream Pumping Station. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2010.
Square D Company, d/b/a Schneider Electric, the sole factory authorized service provider of ION products and services has submitted hourly rates for the repairs required. Inasmuch as Square D Company, d/b/a Schneider Electric, is the only source of supply for the repairs required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable due to the nature of the work involved. If trades work is required, in-house trades will perform the work.
In view of the foregoing it is requested that the Purchasing Agent be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Square D Company, d/b/a Schneider Electric, in an amount not to exceed $30,000.00, for the systems and services required.
The estimated expenditures for 2008, 2009, and 2010 are $10,000.00 for each year. Funds are available in Account 101-69000-612650.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Chief of Maintenance and Operations
