Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd), for the installation of poles, overhead feeders and transformers for a permanent 480 volt nonstandard service, at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant.
ComEd’s work is required in order to provide electrical service and equipment to the Maintenance and Operations Storage Building.
ComEd, the sole service provider of the electrical services to the Calumet WRP, has submitted prices for the service required. In as much as ComEd, is the only source of supply for the service required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with ComEd in the amount not to exceed $62,744.34.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-612150.
Requested, Sergio E. Serafino, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operation, PD:JL
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
