Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue purchase orders and enter into an agreement with Emerson Process Management Power and Water Solutions, Inc., to provide remote telemetry units (RTUs) for the Kirie Water Reclamation Plant Tunnel and Reservoir Project (TARP), and to provide an Enterprise Data Solution (EDS) to the Egan and Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plants. The purchase order for the remote telemetry units (RTUs) will expire on December 31, 2023, and the purchase order for the Enterprise Data Solution (EDS) will expire on December 31, 2022.
These TARP RTUs and the EDS are installed at various locations throughout the North Side Service Area and are integral components of the wastewater treatment processes.
Emerson Process Management Power and Water Solutions, Inc., the sole provider of the remote telemetry units (RTUs) and Enterprise Data Solution (EDS), has submitted prices for the services required. Inasmuch as Emerson Process Management Power and Water Solutions, Inc. is the only source of supply for all the parts and services required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Emerson Process Management Power and Water Solutions, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable because the classification of work does not fall within the provision of the MPLA.
Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D, and Appendix V, is not applicable because this is the only source of supply.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue purchase orders and enter into an agreement with Emerson Process Management Power and Water Solutions, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $492,157.00.
Funds for the 2022 expenditure, in the amount of $333,627.00, are available in Accounts 101-67000-612650, 623070. The estimated expenditures for 2023 are $158,530.00. Funds for the 2023 expenditures are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for those years.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:JK
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 May 19, 2022
