COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to increase Contract 15-636-11, Furnishing and Delivering Hydrogen Peroxide, to Evoqua Water Technologies, LLC, in an amount of $68,000.00 from an amount of $246,631.96 to an amount not to exceed $314,631.96, Account 101-69000-623560, Purchase Order 3086262
Body
Dear Sir:
On July 9, 2015, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order for Contract 15-636-11, Furnishing and Delivering Hydrogen Peroxide, to Evoqua Water Technologies, LLC, in an amount of $214,851.00. The contract expires on August 12, 2018.
As of August 29, 2016, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in an amount of $31,780.96 from the original amount awarded of $214,851.00. The current contract value is $246,631.96. The prior approved change orders reflect a 14.8% increase to the original contract value.
Utilization of hydrogen peroxide in 2016 to control odors was greater than expected due to a modified dosing procedure to support maintenance that will minimize downtime for the Kiewit tunneling operation at the McCook Reservoir, and a full-scale odor control test for the MBM Pelletizer Manhole, where a dosing station will be placed to control odors below the Central Avenue Bridge. The 2016 increase also covers the transportation and rigging charges for a 5,250 gallon, double-walled tank, which will be used during the testing period.
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 15-636-11, in an amount of $68,000.00 (27.6% of the current contract value) from an amount of $246,631.96 to an amount not to exceed $314,631.96.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-623560.
Requested, John P. Murray, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations, BAP:SO’C:MAG:JR:SSG
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials 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 October 6, 2016
