Body
Dear Sir:
On May 4, 2017, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 17-613-11, Scavenger Services at Various Service Areas, Group B, to Independent Recycling Services, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $650,491.00. The contract expires on May 22, 2020.
As of March 5, 2020, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in a decrease in an amount of $28,173.00 from the original amount awarded of $650,491.00. The current contract value is $622,318.00. The prior approved change orders reflect an approximate 4.3% decrease to the original contract value.
This 2020 increase is necessary to maintain continuous scavenger services to the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, until the new contract is in place.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change is due to circumstances not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed, and is in the best interest of the District.
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners ratify and approve the Executive Director's action on March 20, 2020 to direct the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to execute a change order to increase Contract 17-613-11, Group B, in an amount of $29,242.00 (approximately 4.7% of the current contract value) from an amount of $622,318.00 to an amount not to exceed $651,560.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-612520.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance & Operations, EJS:BK:MAG:JR:SSG
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
