Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Sutton Ford, Inc. to furnish and deliver two 2023 Ford Hybrid Police Interceptor Utility vehicles under the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Contract No. 22-416CMS-BOSS4-P-41049. The District has the ability to participate in State of Illinois Contracts under the Government Joint Purchasing Act, 30 ILCS 525/0.01 et. seq.
The State currently has a competitively bid contract with Sutton Ford, Inc. for the purchase of 2023 Ford Hybrid Police Interceptor Utility sport utility vehicles. The contract was 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 22-416CMS-BOSS4-P-41049 began on September 8, 2022 and expires on September 7, 2027.
These vehicles are built by workers from the United Auto Workers union. Sutton Ford, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement is not applicable to this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D applies only to construction contracts over a $100,000.00 threshold. This is a furnish and deliver contract.
The Procurement and Materials Management Department believes that participating in the State’s contract will expedite the ordering and delivery of vehicles and reduce administrative costs.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to Sutton Ford, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $102,989.60.
Funds are available in Account 101-15000-634860.
