Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., to furnish and deliver IEEE Standards Library Online software licensing maintenance for a one-year period from July 2, 2021 to July 1, 2022.
The IEEE Standards Library Online provides IEEE standards to the Engineering Department as reference in the development of electrical specifications. Software licensing maintenance is required to provide continued access to the IEEE Standards Library Online.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc., the manufacturer and sole source of supply, has submitted prices for the software licensing maintenance required. Inasmuch as The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. is the only source of supply for the software licensing maintenance, said purchase order may be issued without competitive bidding pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable to this contract because the classification of work does not fall within the provisions of the MPLA.
The Affirmative Action Appendix A and Appendix V are not included in this contract because the estimate is less than the minimum threshold established by Section 4 of the Affirmative Action Ordinance.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $30,970.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-27000-612820.
