Title
Issue purchase order to Modern Tech Equipment, LLC to Furnish and Deliver Parts to Maintain the Backhus Windrow Turners at the Lawndale Avenue Solids Management Area, in a total amount not to exceed $37,266.38, Accounts 101-69000-612490, 623270, Requisition 1585721.
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Modern Tech Equipment, LLC to furnish and deliver parts to maintain the Backhus windrow turners at the Lawndale Avenue Solids Management Area. This purchase order will expire on December 31, 2022.
Modern Tech Equipment, LLC, the sole dealer for this territory, has submitted prices for the parts required. Inasmuch as Modern Tech Equipment, LLC 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).
Modern Tech Equipment, LLC 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 Maintenance and Operations 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 Modern Tech Equipment, LLC, 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 Modern Tech Equipment, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $37,266.38.
Funds are available in Accounts 101-69000-612490, 623270.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:jd
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 1, 2022
