Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Dresser Inc., to furnish and deliver replacement parts and turnkey inspection services for four (4) Roots centrifugal blowers at the Egan Water Reclamation Plant. The purchase order will expire on December 31, 2008.
Dresser, Inc., the sole source provider of the replacement parts and services has submitted a quote for the parts and services required. Inasmuch as Dresser, Inc., is the only source of supply for the replacement parts and services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Dresser, Inc., is in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable due to the nature of the work involved. If trade work is required, in-house trades will perform the work.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Purchasing Agent be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Dresser, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $30,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-612650.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Chief of Maintenance and Operations
