Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to BCR, LLC Automotive Group, D.B.A. Roesch Ford to furnish and deliver seven Ford Interceptor Police Sports Utility Vehicles under the City of Chicago Joint Purchasing Contract No. 26235. The District has the ability to participate in City of Chicago contracts under the Government Joint Purchasing Act, 30 ILCS 525/0.01 et. seq.
The City of Chicago currently has a competitively bid contract with BCR, LLC Automotive Group, D.B.A. Roesch Ford, for the purchase of Ford Interceptor Police Sports Utility Vehicles. The invitation to bid was issued to establish a contract to enable all state agencies and authorized local governmental units to purchase current model year production vehicles during the contract period. The term of the contract began on April 2, 2012, and expires on April 1, 2017.
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 the City of Chicago's contract 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 BCR, LLC Automotive Group, D.B.A. Roesch Ford, in an amount not to exceed $180,544.00.
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
