Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue purchase orders to Howden Roots, LLC, to furnish and deliver a blower and bearings for various locations. The parts will be delivered 18-20 weeks after the purchase orders are received.
Howden Roots, LLC, the sole source provider of these parts, has submitted prices for the parts required. Inasmuch as Howden Roots, LLC is the only source of the parts required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Howden Roots, LLC is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) and Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D are not applicable because this is a furnish and deliver contract available from one source.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Howden Roots, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $196,180.00.
Funds are available in Accounts 101-67000, 69000-623270.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:es
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
