COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to exercise option to extend existing contract for one additional year ending on December 31, 2015, for Contract 12-RFP-28, On Site-Therapy with Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT), Account 901-30000-601090, Purchase Order 3076454 (As Revised)
Body
Dear Sir:
At the Board meeting of March 7, 2013, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT) for a two year period ending on December 31, 2014, with an option to extend for a third year in an amount not to exceed $200,000.00. Account 901-30000-601090, Purchase Order 3076454.
This change order is required to assure continued services. The Human Resources Department has been satisfied with the therapy services provided by Doctors of Physical Therapy and wishes to extend this contract until December 31, 2015.
The change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code because it was specifically provided for in the original contract, is germane to the original contract as signed, and is in the best interest of the District.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to extend the agreement with Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPT) for a one year period. No additional funds are needed at this time.
Requested, Denice E. Korcal, Director of Human Resources, DEK:RAJ:RG:aw
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Material Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for December 18, 2014
