Dear Sir:

 

On July 9, 2015, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Industria, Inc. for Contract 14-254-3F (Re-Bid), Blue Island Green Infrastructure Project, Blue Island, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed $663,838.00, plus a five (5) percent contingency allowance for change orders in an amount of $33,191.90, for a total amount not to exceed $697,029.90. The contract was completed on October 22, 2015.

 

There are no prior change orders for this contract.

 

Therefore, this request is to decrease the amount of of the five (5) percent contingency allowance for change orders in the amount of $33,191.90. This contract is completed and closed out.

 

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 the five (5) percent contingency allowance for change orders in an amount of $33,191.90.

 

Funds will be restored to Account 401-50000-645690.
