Title
Issue purchase order to LAI, Ltd., to Furnish and Deliver WEDECO Ozone Level Monitors to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $73,823.60, Account 101-68000 -634650, Requisition 1312399
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to LAI, Ltd., to furnish and deliver WEDECO Ozone Level Monitors, to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2010.
LAI, Ltd., the sole source provider of the parts and services, has submitted prices for the parts. Inasmuch as LAI, Ltd., is the only source of supply for the parts required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
LAI, Ltd., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois. The parts are manufactured and assembled in the United States.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable because this is a furnish and deliver contract.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order with LAI, Ltd., in an amount not to exceed $73,823.60.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-634650.
Requested, Manju Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:JN:sk
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 November 4, 2010
