Body

 

Dear Sir:

 

Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to R.S. Means Company, LLC for RSMeans Online annual license renewal.  The term of this renewal is March 17, 2024 through March 16, 2025.

 

RSMeans Online is used by the District for construction cost estimating.

 

R.S. Means Company, LLC, the manufacturer and sole source of supply, has submitted prices for the annual license renewal required.  Inasmuch as R.S. Means Company, LLC is the only source of supply for RSMeans Online licenses, said purchase order may be issued without competitive bidding pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act.

 

R.S. Means Company, LLC is registered and in good standing with the State of Illinois.

 

The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because the classification of work does not fall within the provisions of the MPLA.

 

In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue said purchase order to R.S. Means Company, LLC in an amount not to exceed $23,025.00.

 

Funds are available in Account 101-27000-612820.

 

Requested, Sean T. Kelly, Director of Information Technology, STK:BVS:tw

Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management

Respectfully Submitted, Marcelino Garcia, Chairman Committee on Procurement
