Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Issue a purchase order to Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., to provide Grundfos Pumps, in a total amount not to exceed $69,750.00, Account 101-69000-623270, Requisition 1487712
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., to provide Grundfos pumps, to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. All pumps will be delivered by December 31, 2018.
Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., the sole source provider of the pumps, has submitted prices for the pumps required. A purchase order will be issued for the pumps, as needed, based on the prices received from Gasvoda & Associates, Inc. Inasmuch as Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., is the only source of supply for the pumps and replacement parts required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., is registered and is in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because this is primarily 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 to Gasvoda & Associates, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $69,750.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-623270.
Requested, John Murray, 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 April 5, 2018
