Resolution ratifying an emergency procurement with Metropolitan Industries Inc., Romeoville, Illinois, in the amount of $55,077 for emergency repairs to the Ela Lift Station.
• The County owns and operates the Ela Lift Station located near Salem Lake Road and Illinois Route 22.

• During a preventative maintenance inspection, it was discovered that one of the three pumps required major repair. It was also discovered that the other two pumps were close to failure.
• Due to the importance of this lift station and the three-month lead time to obtain the repair parts, it was determined that an emergency procurement was necessary to keep this facility operational.
• Pursuant to the Lake County Purchasing Ordinance, emergency procurements are made when there exists a threat to public health, welfare, or safety, or to prevent or minimize serious disruption of governmental services.
• Pursuant to Article 6, Section 103, the Director of Public Works has submitted a written determination of the basis for the emergency and the certification that the procurement of these parts was appropriate.
