Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with AVO Training Institute, Inc., to provide electrical maintenance training to the North Service Area. All training will be completed by December 31, 2023.
AVO Training Institute, Inc., the sole source provider for this training, has submitted pricing for the required services. Inasmuch as AVO Training Institute, Inc., is the only source for the required training, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids. (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
AVO Training Institute, 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 AVO Training Institute, Inc., is the sole provider of this service.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with AVO Training Institute, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $15,313.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-601100.
