Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to General Pump and Machinery, Inc., to furnish and deliver two (2) Pentair Flow Technologies Vertiline pumps, for repairs at the TARP Pumping Station at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. All parts will be delivered before 12/31/2023.
General Pump and Machinery, Inc., the sole source provider for Pentair Flow Technologies Vertiline pumps and parts, has submitted prices for the materials required. Inasmuch as General Pump and Machinery, Inc., 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).
General Pump and Machinery, Inc., is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable because the requirement does not fall under the provisions of the MPLA.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D and Appendix V is not included because General Pump and Machinery, Inc., is the sole provider of these pumps and 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 General Pump and Machinery, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $36,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-623270.
