A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE WAIVER OF COMPETITIVE BIDDING AND AUTHORIZING
THE PURCHASE OF DEICER SALT
WHEREAS, the 2014 budget includes $94,000 for the purchase of deicer salt ("Salt"); and
WHEREAS, Section 1-7-10 of the Village Code authorizes the Village to join with other units of
government in cooperative purchasing plans when it is in the best interests of the Village; and
WHEREAS, each year, the State of Illinois, through its cooperative purchasing program, seeks
bids for municipalities to purchase Salt; and
WHEREAS, due to the State's purchasing power, the Village likely can obtain a better price for
the purchase of Salt than if it conducted its own bid process; and
WHEREAS, because the State of Illinois conducts the competitive bidding processes for the
purchase of Salt, the Village staff has recommended that the Village waive competitive bidding and
approve the purchase of 2000 tons of Salt from the bidder awarded a contract by the State to provide Salt
to participating municipalities; 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 Salt;
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 2000 tons of Salt are hereby waived in accordance with Section 1-7-4 of
the Village Code.
Section 3: Authorization of Purchase of Salt. The purchase of 2000 tons of Salt from the
bidder awarded a contract by the State of Illinois through the State's purchasing program is hereby
authorized.
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.
