Issue purchase order to Atlas Bobcat, LLC, to Furnish and Deliver One (1) New Bobcat Skid Steer Loader and Accessories to the Egan Water Reclamation Plant, under Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) Purchasing Contract No. 020223-CEC, in an amount not to exceed $69,513.39, Account 101-67000-634760, Requisition 1663115 (As Revised)
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Atlas Bobcat, LLC, to furnish and deliver one (1) new Bobcat skid steer loader and accessories to the Egan Water Reclamation Plant. The skid steer loader will be delivered by December 31, 2026.
Sourcewell currently has a competitively bid contract with Bobcat Company (020223-CEC) for medium duty construction equipment. Atlas Bobcat, LLC is a distributor for Bobcat Company. 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 medium duty construction equipment during the contract period. The term of contract 020223-CEC began on April 6, 2023 and expires on April 17, 2027.
This order consists of the procurement of one (1) new Bobcat skid steer loader and accessories to the Egan Water Reclamation Plant. The skid steer loader will be used by District staff to maintain the grounds at the Egan Water Reclamation Plant.
Atlas Bobcat, LLC, 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 Ordinance, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V, are not applicable to this requirement because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The Procurement and Materials Management Department believes that participating in the Sourcewell contract will expedite the ordering and delivery of the vehicle 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 Atlas Bobcat, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $69,513.39.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-634760.
Requested, Edward J. Staudacher, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:es
Respectfully Submitted, Precious Brady-Davis, Chairperson Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for September 17, 2026
