Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Zonatherm Products, Inc., to furnish and deliver one (1) new Generac 625kW emergency generator to the Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant. The emergency generator is expected to be delivered before December 31, 2023.
Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) currently has a competitively bid contract with Generac Power Systems Inc. (092222-GNR), for electrical energy power generation equipment. On May 19, 2011, the Board of Commissioners granted authority to participate in the NJPA purchasing cooperative. The contract was established to enable all state agencies and authorized local governmental units to purchase electrical energy power generation equipment during the contract period. The term of contract 092222-GNR began on December 1, 2022 and expires on November 22, 2026. Zonatherm Products, Inc., is a local distributor for Generac Power Systems Inc.
This order consists of the procurement of one (1) new Generac 625kW emergency generator with a 10-year warranty and start-up service to the Hanover Water Reclamation Plant. It will replace an undersized 25-year-old emergency generator that requires a full generator end replacement with a 625kW natural gas-powered generator, which will power critical pumping and wastewater treatment equipment during power outages.
Zonatherm Products, Inc. is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) and Affirmative Action, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V are not applicable to this contract because its only available from one source.
The Procurement and Materials Management Department believes that participating in the Sourcewell contract will expedite the ordering and delivery of the emergency generator and reduce administrative costs.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Zonatherm Products, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $300,866.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-623070.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:es
Respectfully Submitted, Marcelino Garcia, Chairman Committee on Procurement
