Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Pumping Solutions, Inc., to provide a KSB submersible pump to the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant. The submersible pump will be delivered by December 31, 2023.
Pumping Solutions, Inc., the sole source provider of the pump, has submitted pricing for the pump as required. Inasmuch as Pumping Solutions, Inc., is the only source of the submersible pump required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Pumping Solutions, Inc., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V are not applicable because Pumping Solutions, Inc. is the sole provider of the pump.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Pumping Solutions, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $35,240.61.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-634650.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:es
Respectfully Submitted, Marcelino Garcia, 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 March 16, 2023
