Purchase Order 60RRBH23P0013

The Railroad Retirement Board awarded a $1,378.24 firm fixed-price purchase order to the City of Chicago Department of Water Management for water utility services at the agency's headquarters located in Chicago, Illinois. This contract, awarded on November 10, 2022, represents a standard utility service arrangement with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2023. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement. The purchase order was structured as a straightforward billing mechanism for water services rendered to the federal facility, consistent with how municipalities typically provide essential infrastructure services to government installations.

This contract exemplifies the Department of Water Management's established role as a reliable provider of water and sewer utility services to federal agencies in the Chicago area. As a division of the City of Chicago government, the department has demonstrated a consistent track record of delivering such services through firm fixed-price purchase orders to multiple federal facilities, including other agencies such as the Department of Justice's Metropolitan Correctional Center. The relatively modest contract value reflects the routine nature of quarterly or monthly utility billing rather than a capital project, positioning this award within the broader portfolio of infrastructure support services the City of Chicago provides to federal operations in the region.
