Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Flow-Technics Inc., to provide two (2) ITT Goulds model #3196 XLTi centrifugal pumps to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. The pumps are needed to feed the GeoPools at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. The pumps will be delivered by December 31, 2026.
Flow-Technics Inc., the sole source provider of these pumps, has submitted pricing for the pumps required. Inasmuch as Flow-Technics Inc. is the only source of the pumps required, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Flow-Technics 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 Flow-Technics Inc. is the sole provider of these pumps.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Flow-Technics Inc. in an amount not to exceed $104,886.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-634650.
Requested, Pinakin V. Desai, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations

Respectfully Submitted, Precious Brady-Davis, Chairman Committee on Procurement
