CONCLUSION:
Graybar Services, Inc. is the current contract holder of the OMNIA Partners Purchasing Alliance. The OMNIA Partners Purchasing Alliance is a national leading purchasing cooperative for State and Local agencies.

Each of the items included in this purchase utilize pricing in the OMNIA Partners Purchasing Alliance contract.
Section 2-438 of the City of Joliet Code of Ordinance states that purchases over $25,000.00 may be awarded without written specifications under certain circumstances. Two (2) of these circumstances apply:
(a) Purchases which may only be practicably made from a single source;
(f) Purchases when authorized by a concurring vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Mayor and City Council.
Sufficient funds exist utilizing the Public Works General Fund - Electrical / Supplies - Equip Parts (Org 09028000, Object 536104, $106,586.50).
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council award a contract for the purchase of electrical replacement materials, in the amount of $106,586.50, on behalf of Graybar Services Inc.
