TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF FEBRUARY 18, 2010
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. Richard Lanyon, Executive Director
Title
Issue purchase order and enter into an agreement with Hach Company, for Preventive Maintenance and Parts at Various Locations, in an amount not to exceed $31,264.49, Account 101-16000-612970, Requisition 1295088
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order (PO) and enter into an agreement with Hach Company (Hach), for preventive maintenance and parts at various locations at the Calumet, Egan and Stickney Analytical Laboratories of the Monitoring and Research Department. This PO will expire on April 24, 2011.
Hach, the sole-service provider for preventive maintenance and parts at various locations, has submitted pricing for the services required. Inasmuch as Hach 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). In addition, the parts and accessories provided under this agreement are economically available from a single source.
Hach is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable due to the specialized nature of the services required.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a PO and enter into an agreement with Hach Company, in an amount not to exceed $31,264.49.
Funds are available in Account 101-16000-612970.
Requested, Louis Kollias, Director of Monitoring and Research, LK:TG:MPC:KB:op
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, 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 February 18, 2010
