Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Nu-Recycling Technology, Inc., to furnish, install and maintain odor control systems at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. The purchase order will expire on December 31, 2023.
Nu-Recycling Technology, Inc., the sole source for the services and equipment required, has submitted pricing. Inasmuch as this firm is the only source of supply for the services and equipment required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Nu-Recycling Technology, Inc. provides complete misting systems, which are necessary to provide effective odor control at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant. Fugitive odors emanating from the plant result in public complaints during the warmer months of the year.
Nu-Recycling Technology, Inc., is registered and in good standing to transact business in Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable because of the classification of work does fall under the provisions of the MPLA.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D and Appendix V are not included in this agreement because of the proprietary equipment, systems, chemicals, and services from the sole supplier. Therefore, this agreement does not provide for any subcontracting opportunities.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Nu-Recycling Technology, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $262.500.00. Funds for the estimated expenditures for 2021, 2022 are 2023 are $87,500.00 respectively, and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for those years.
