Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Stevenson Crane Service, Inc., to furnish and deliver one (1) new 2026 Genie GS-3232 electric slab scissor lift and two (2) new 2026 Genie GS-1932 electric slab scissor lifts to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant (CWRP). The electric slab scissor lifts will be delivered by December 31, 2026.
Sourcewell currently has a competitively bid contract with Terex USA, LLC (020923-TER) for portable construction equipment with related accessories and attachments. Stevenson Crane Service, Inc., is a distributor for Terex USA, LLC. On May 19, 2011, the Board of Commissioners granted authority to participate in the NJPA purchasing cooperative. The contracts were established to enable all state agencies and authorized local governmental units to purchase heavy construction equipment during the contract period. The term of contract 020923-TER began on May 12, 2023 and expires on April 20, 2027.
This order consists of the procurement of one (1) new 2026 Genie GS-3232 electric slab scissor lift and two (2) new 2026 Genie GS-1932 electric slab scissor lifts to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. This equipment will be utilized by maintenance and operations personnel to perform work in areas of the plant that are difficult to access.
Stevenson Crane Service, 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 applicable to this requirement because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The Procurement and Materials Management Department believes that participating in the Sourcewell contract will expedite the ordering and delivery of the equipment 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 Stevenson Crane Service, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $79,180.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-634990.
Requested, Edward J. Staudacher, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations
