Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Compressor Controls LLC, to furnish, deliver, and commission three Compressor Controls LLC Series 3++ dual loop controllers, including system engineering, software, and commissioning visits for the aeration blowers at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2023.
Compressor Controls LLC, the sole source provider of the parts and service, has submitted prices for the parts and service required. Inasmuch as Compressor Controls LLC, is the only source of supply for the parts and service required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Compressor Controls LLC is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable due to the specialized nature of the service required.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D and Appendix V are not included because Compressor Controls LLC is the sole provider for these parts and services.
In view of the foregoing it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Compressor Controls LLC, in an amount not to exceed $216,668.00.
Funds for 2022 expenditure, in the amount of $166,668.00, are available in Account 101-68000-623070. Funds for 2023 expenditure, in the amount of $50,000.00, are being requested in Account 101-68000-612650, and are contingent upon the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for that year.
