Oak Forest council approves $27,918 sole-source purchase to repair 27 Sensus water meters
Summary
The council approved a sole-source purchase from Core & Main for 27 one-and-a-half-inch water meter repair kits totaling $27,918 to repair non-reading Sensus meters; the motion passed 6-0 with one absence.
At the June 9 meeting, Oak Forest's City Council approved the purchase of 27 one-and-a-half-inch water meter repair kits from Core & Main for $27,918. The kits are intended to repair Sensus water meters that are installed in the distribution system but are not reading or are reading sporadically.
Public Works Director Michael Salamowicz told the council that a majority of the 27 one-and-a-half-inch meters are not reading and need repair as soon as possible. The minutes record that Core & Main is the sole source in Illinois for these kits compatible with the Sensus meters the city uses.
Alderperson Keeler moved to approve the purchase and Alderperson Stuewe seconded; the motion carried 6-0 with one absence. The minutes describe the purchase as a sole-source procurement under the cited municipal purchasing clause (33.101(C)(3)).
