Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Issue purchase order to the E-Z-Go Division of Textron Inc., to Furnish and Deliver twenty four Cushman 800G Utility Vehicles under General Services Administration (GSA) Joint Purchasing Contract GS-07F-8894D, in an amount not to exceed $210,450.00, Account 201-50000-634860, Requisition 1360062
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to the E-Z-Go Division of Textron Inc. to furnish and deliver twenty four Cushman 800G Utility Vehicles under GSA Joint Purchasing Contract GS-07F-8894D. The District has the ability to participate in GSA contracts under the Government Joint Purchasing Act, 30 ILCS 525/0.01 et. seq.
The GSA currently has a competitively bid contract with the E-Z-Go Division of Textron Inc., for the purchase of Cushman 800G utility vehicles. The invitation to bid was issued to establish a contract to enable authorized governmental units to purchase current model year production vehicles during the contract period. The term of the contract began on December 29, 2010, and expires on March 5, 2016.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable to this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The Procurement & Materials Management Department believes that participating in GSA contracts will expedite the ordering and delivery of vehicles, and reduce administrative costs.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to the E-Z-Go Division of Textron Inc., in an amount not to exceed $210,450.00.
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-634860.
Requested, Eileen McElligott, Administrative Services Manager, EMcE, MW, DF, BTS
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
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 2, 2013
