TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 2, 2021
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Issue purchase order to Hydro-Kinetics Corporation, to Furnish and Deliver Two Gorman-Rupp Sump Pumps to the Mainstream Pumping Station, in an amount not to exceed $66,043.00, Account 101-69000-623270, Requisition 1563493
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Hydro-Kinetics Corporation, to furnish and deliver two sump pumps to replace defective units at the Mainstream Pumping Station. All parts will be delivered before December 31, 2021.
Hydro-Kinetics Corporation, the sole source provider, has submitted prices for the parts required. Inasmuch as Hydro-Kinetics Corporation is the only source of supply for the parts required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Hydro-Kinetics Corporation is not registered to transact business in Illinois, but it is registered, active and in good standing with the State of Missouri. The Director of the Maintenance and Operations Department has requested to move forward with the recommendation to award.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable because this is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V are not included because Hydro-Kinetics Corporation is the sole provider of these parts.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Hydro-Kinetics Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $66,043.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-623270.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:cc
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 September 2, 2021
