Issue purchase order to Atlas Bobcat, LLC, to furnish and deliver one (1) Bobcat Compact Track Loader under Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) Purchasing Contract No. 040319-CEC, in an amount not to exceed $114,556.00, Account 101-67000-634860. Requisition 1573331
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Atlas Bobcat, LLC, to furnish and deliver one (1) Bobcat compact track loader to the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant. The vehicle will be delivered by December 31, 2022.
Sourcewell currently has a competitively bid contract with Clark Equipment Company dba Bobcat Company (040319-CEC), for compact construction equipment and related attachments. Atlas Bobcat, LLC, is a distributor for Clark Equipment Company dba Bobcat Company. On May 19, 2011, the Board of Commissioners granted authority to participate in the NJPA purchasing cooperative. The contracts were established to enable all state agencies and authorized local governmental units to purchase current model year production vehicles during the contract period. The term of contract 040319-CEC began on May 31, 2019 and expires on May 31, 2023.
This order consists of the procurement of one (1) T76 T4 Bobcat compact track loader with a 3612EA Cronkhite trailer to the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant. The compact track loader will be used by District staff to maintain the grounds at the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant. This vehicle is assembled by union labor in the U.S.A.
Atlas Bobcat, LLC, is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) and Affirmative Action, Revised Appendix D are not applicable to this requisition because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The Procurement and Materials Management Department believes that participating in the Sourcewell contract will expedite the ordering and delivery of the vehicle and reduce administrative costs.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Atlas Bobcat, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $114,556.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-634860.
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
