6. Reports of Standing Committees with Ordinance & Resolutions
a. Resolution FP-R2023-001—A Resolution Authorizing an Open Purchase Order for Procurement of Forest Preserve District Vehicles and Equipment.
Local government bodies typically procure vehicles through the State of Illinois’ Joint Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. This was canceled in 2021 due to market constraints. Because the cost of maintaining the current equipment is more expensive than purchasing new equipment, it was decided than an open purchase order was the best course of action for procuring new vehicles and equipment with the current market constraints. This Resolution authorizes an open purchase order which allows the Forest Preserve District to procure the specified or equivalent vehicles and equipment when they become available, at a cost not to exceed to the dollar amount specified.
Committee Action: The Forest Preserve Operations Committee considered Resolution FP R2023-01 on February 23, 2023 and forwarded a favorable recommendation by a vote of six in favor and none opposed.
b. Claims to be Paid in March 2023: Move to approve the payment of claims for the month and off-cycle claims paid during the previous month, including all claims for travel, meals, and lodging, in the amount of $ 130,158.53.
