A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE WAIVER OF COMPETITIVE BIDDING
AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF A BACKUP GENERATOR
WHEREAS, the Village owns and operates a pump site known as"Pump Site B"; and
WHEREAS, the Village relies on a backup power generator at Pump Site B to provide backup
power to the control systems of the pumps and valves ("Power Generator"); and
WHEREAS, the Power Generator is more than 30 years old, recently failed, and replacement
parts are no longer available; and
WHEREAS, until the Village purchases a new power Generator for Pump Site B ("Replacement
Generator"), the Village is renting a backup power generator from Charles Equipment Energy Systems of
Des Plaines, Illinois ("Charles"); and
WHEREAS, Village staff has recommended that the Village Board waive competitive bidding for
the purchase of the Replacement Generator and purchase the Replacement Generator from Charles
because the costs of continuing to rent the backup power generator during the competitive bidding
process will likely be greater than any savings the Village may gain by going through the competitive
bidding process; and
WHEREAS, the President and Board of Trustees, being fully advised in the premises, have
determined that it is in the best interests of the Village and its residents to so waive competitive bidding
and to approve the purchase of the Replacement Generator from Charles;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
THE VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK, DU PAGE AND COOK COUNTIES, ILLINOIS as follows:
Section 1: Recitals. The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated into, and made a part
of, this Resolution as the findings of the President and Board of Trustees of the Village of Oak Brook.

requirements for the purchase of the Replacement Generator shall be, and they are hereby, waived in
accordance with Section 1-7-4 of the Village Code.
Section 3: Approval of Purchase of the Replacement Generator. The purchase of the
Replacement Generator from Charles for a cost not to exceed $31,462.00 shall be, and is hereby,
approved.
Section 4: Execution of Required Documentation. The President and the Village Clerk shall
be, and are hereby, authorized to execute and attest, on behalf of the Village all documents necessary to
complete the purchase pursuant to Section 3 of this Resolution.
