Issue purchase order to United Rentals North America Inc., to Furnish and Deliver One (1) Used 2014 JLG 600AJ Articulating Boom Lift to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant under Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) Purchasing Contract No. 062320-URI, in an amount not to exceed $74,000.00, Account 101-69000-634990, Requisition 1606536
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to United Rentals North America Inc., to furnish and deliver one (1) used 2014 JLG 600AJ articulating boom lift to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. The equipment will be delivered by December 31, 2023.
Sourcewell currently has a competitively bid contract with United Rentals North America Inc (062320-URI), for used equipment sales, rental equipment, and related services. On May 19, 2011, the Board of Commissioners granted authority to participate in the NJPA purchasing cooperative. The contracts were established to enable all state agencies and authorized local governmental units to purchase current model year production equipment during the contract period. The term of contract 062320-URI began on August 28, 2020 and expires on August 27, 2024.
This order consists of the procurement of one (1) used 2014 JLG 600AJ articulating boom lift. The lift will be used by District staff for hauling and moving activities at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant.
United Rentals North America Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable because the requirement does not fall under the provisions of the MPLA.
The Affirmative Action, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V, are not applicable to this requirement because it is less than the minimum threshold established by Section 4 of the Affirmative Action Ordinance.
The Procurement and Materials Management Department believes that participating in the Sourcewell contract will expedite the ordering and delivery of the equipment and reduce administrative costs.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to United Rentals North America Inc., in an amount not to exceed $74,000.00.
Funds are available in Accounts 101-69000-634990.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:es
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 November 2, 2023
