Dear Sir:
At the September 15, 2011 Board Meeting, authorization was approved to add Project 11-720-21, Rebuilding Norwalk Air Compressor #2 at the Kirie Water Reclamation Plant, to the Construction Fund, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.

The purchase order will expire December 31, 2012.
National Compressor Services, LLC, the sole source provider for services, has submitted prices for the services required. Inasmuch as National Compressor Services, LLC, is the only source of supply for the services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids. (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
National Compressor Services, LLC, is not authorized to transact business in the State of Illinois but is in good standing with the State of Texas. The Maintenance and Operations Department has received approval from the Executive Director to move forward with the recommendation to award.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable due to the specialized nature of the services.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with National Compressor Services, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $73,340.00.
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-645650.
