Title
Issue purchase order to Vector Solutions LLC for license and software maintenance renewal for an Industrial Premium Library database, in an amount not to exceed $41,000.00, Account 101-27000-612820, Requisition 1620046
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Vector Solutions LLC for license and software maintenance renewal for an Industrial Premium Library database for a one-year period for the Return-To-Work Program. This purchase order will cover the period of August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025.
Vector Solutions LLC, the sole service provider of license and software maintenance renewal for the Return-To-Work Program, has submitted prices for the services required. Inasmuch as Vector Solutions is the only source of supply for the services required, said purchase order may be issued without competitive bidding pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act.
Vector Solutions LLC is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because the classification of work does not fall within the provisions of the MPLA.
The Affirmative Action Appendix A and Appendix V are not included in this contract. Since Vector Solutions LLC is the sole provider of this database, it is not feasible to include affirmative action participation goals.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to Vector Solutions LLC in an amount not to exceed $41,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-27000-612820.
Requested, Thaddeus J. Kosowski, Director of Human Resources, TJK:TP
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Marcelino Garcia, 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 June 20, 2024
