Body
Dear Sir:
On December 19, 2013, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 13-610-12, Furnish and Deliver Boiler Repair Parts and Recertified Safety Relief Valves to Various Locations, to Independent Mechanical Industries, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $310,000.00. The contract expires on February 2, 2016.
This contract has no prior change orders.
A $50,000 increase is needed in 2014 to refurbish deteriorated boiler tubes and refractory materials required for the City of Chicago's boiler inspection. As a result, the contract will be decreased by $21,500.00 for 2015. The result is a net increase of $28,500.00.
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 change orders to increase Contract 13-610-12, in an amount of $28,500.00 (9.2% of the current contract value) from an amount of $310,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $338,500.00.
Funds are available in Accounts 101-68000-623070/623090.
