Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Howden Roots LLC to furnish and deliver a 1012 RAS-J blower to the Webster Instream Aeration Station and two (2) custom bearing assemblies to the Egan Water Reclamation Plant. All parts will be delivered before December 31, 2023.
Howden Roots LLC is the sole authorized provider of the 1012 RAS-J Blower and OEM components for Howden steam turbines and blowers in North America. Inasmuch as Howden Roots LLC is the only source to provide these parts, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Howden Roots LLC 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 and Appendix V are not included because Howden Roots LLC is the sole provider of these parts.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to Howden Roots LLC in an amount not to exceed $99,761.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-623270.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance of Operations
