Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to McJunkin Red Man Corporation to furnish and deliver Maxon Gas Safety Valves to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant.
McJunkin Red Man Corporation, the sole provider of Maxon equipment, has submitted prices for the equipment required. Inasmuch as McJunkin Red Man Corporation, is the only source of supply for the goods being requested, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
McJunkin Red Man Corporation is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because it is primarily 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 McJunkin Red Man Corporation in an amount not to exceed $55,560.08.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-623090
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Chief of Maintenance and Operations
