Issue purchase order to Evoqua Water Technologies LLC, to provide a Lower Bearing Assembly for the SEPA 3 and 4 Screw Pumps at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $68,000.00, Account 101-68000-623270, Requisition 1661142
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a purchase order to Evoqua Water Technologies LLC to provide a lower bearing assembly for the SEPA 3 and 4 screw pumps at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. The bearing assembly and accessories are expected to be delivered by December 31, 2026.
Evoqua Water Technologies LLC, the sole source provider for the lower bearing assembly, has submitted prices for the item as required. Inasmuch as Evoqua Water Technologies LLC is the only source of supply for this lower bearing assembly, nothing would be gained by advertising for bids (Section 11.4 of the Purchasing Act).
Evoqua Water Technologies LLC 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 Evoqua Water Technologies LLC is the sole provider of this specialized part.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order to Evoqua Water Technologies LLC in an amount not to exceed $68,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-623270.
Requested, Edward J. Staudacher, Director of Maintenance and Operations
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:MS:cc
Respectfully Submitted, Precious Brady-Davis, Chairperson Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for July 16, 2026
