Body
Dear Sir:
On December 1, 2011, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 06-843-3E Replacement of Electrical Equipment at Webster IAS & O'Hare Reservoir, NSA, to Divane Brothers Electric Company, in an amount not to exceed $556,000.00. The contract completion date was July 9, 2013.
As of October 17, 2014, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in an amount of $19,809.00 from the original amount awarded of $556,000.00. The current contract value is $575,809.00. The prior approved change orders reflect a 3.56% increase to the original value.
This contract is complete and it is necessary to decrease and close this purchase order.
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 authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to execute a change order to decrease Contract 06-843-3E in an amount of $60,000.00 (10.42% of the current contract value), from an amount of $575,809.00, to an amount not to exceed $515,809.00.
Funds will be restored to Account 401-50000-645720.
