Dear Sir:
On November 19, 2009, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 03-122-3S Upper Des Plaines Intercepting Sewers 12 & 13B Rehabilitation, Stickney Service Area, to Insituform Technologies USA, Inc in an amount not to exceed $1,028,795.00. The contract completion date was November 19, 2012.
As of July 11, 2014, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in a net increase in an amount of $60,331.46 from the original amount awarded of $1,028,795.00. The current contract value is $1,089,126.46. The prior approved change orders reflect a 5.86% increase to the original contract value.
This contract is complete and it is necessary to decrease and close this purchase order.
