Title
Issue a purchase order to Peterson and Matz, Inc. to Furnish and Deliver Three (3) Wilo Submersible Grit Pumps and Three Lifting Chains to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $66,285.00, Account 101-68000-634650, Requisition 1603037
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Peterson and Matz, Inc. to furnish and deliver three Wilo submersible grit pumps and three stainless steel lifting chains for urgent repairs at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. The parts will be delivered by December 31, 2023.
Peterson and Matz, Inc., the sole source provider for the required pumps and chains, has submitted prices for the parts required. Inasmuch as Peterson and Matz, 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).
Peterson and Matz, 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, are not included because Peterson and Matz, Inc. is the sole provider of these 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 Peterson and Matz, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $66,285.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-634650.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:cc
Respectfully Submitted, Marcelino Garcia, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for August 10, 2023
