Body
Dear Sir:
On February 18, 2016, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 16-002-11 furnish and deliver cylinder gases and bulk argon to various locations for a one (1) year period to The Welding Center, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $36,305.00. The contract expires on February 28, 2017.
Since award, change order increases have been approved in an amount of $9,870.00, bringing the current contract total to $46,175.00. The reason for these changes is an increased demand for cylinder gases and argon by the District’s laboratories. Another increase in the amount of $6,233.00 is being requested to cover further requirements to the end of the contract term.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change is germane to the 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 increase Contract 16-002-11, in an amount of $6,233.00 from a current amount of $46,175.00 to an amount not to exceed $52,408.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-20000-623840.
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management,
