Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Severn Trent Water Purification, Inc., to furnish and deliver Severn Trent equipment for Project 07-528-CP 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. Severn Trent Water Purification, Inc., has been selected as one of the manufacturers to provide equipment for this study. Severn Trent Water Purification, Inc., the sole service provider of Severn Trent Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipment, has submitted prices for the supply of MicroDynamics disinfection system, a flow meter, and submersible pump with VFD and control panel. Inasmuch as Severn Trent Water Purification, 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).
Severn Trent Water Purification, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the 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 Severn Trent Water Purification, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $209,900.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-50000-634650.
Requested, Joseph Sobanski, Chief Engineer, JPS:TEK:GR:BB
