Body
Dear Sir:
On April 5, 2012, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 12-696-11 Services of Tractor Mounted Paddle Aerators and Rotavators with Operators at LASMA and CALSMA, in an amount not to exceed $2,941,000.00. The contract expires on April 27, 2015.
As of July 3, 2014, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in a decrease in an amount of $79,836.19 from the original amount awarded of $2,941,000.00. The current contract value is $2,861,163.81. The prior approved change orders reflect a 2.7% decrease to the original contract value.
An increase is requested because the utilization for 2014 is greater than originally anticipated.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change is germane to the original contract, and is in the best interest of the District.
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to execute a change order to increase Contract 12-696-11, in an amount of $75,000.00 (2.6% of the current contract value) from an amount of $2,861,163.81 to an amount not to exceed $2,936,163.81.
Funds are available in Account No. 101-66000-612520.
