Title
Issue purchase order to Wedeco, Inc., to Furnish and Deliver Wedeco Equipment for Project 07-528-BP Ultraviolet Disinfection Pilot Study, at the Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $145,858.00, Account 101-50000-634650, Requisition 1245068
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Wedeco, Inc. to furnish and deliver Wedeco
equipment for Project 07-528-BP 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. Wedeco, Inc. has been selected as one of the manufacturers to provide equipment for this study. Wedeco, Inc., the sole service provider of Wedeco Ultraviolet Disinfection Equipment, has submitted prices for the supply of Wedeco TAK55 UV disinfection system, a flow meter, and a submersible pump with VFD and control panel. Inasmuch as Wedeco, 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).
Wedeco, 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 Wedeco, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $145,858.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-50000-634650.
Requested, Joseph Sobanski, Chief Engineer, JPS:TEK:GR:BB
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Purchasing Agent
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
ORDERED passed by affirmative roll call vote of a majority of the Commissioners present this June 5, 2008. Approved, President Terrence J. O’Brien
