Dear Sir:
On April 23, 2015, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an intergovernmental agreement with CCDTH for Contract 15-IGA-03, Roberts Road Trunk Sewer and Drainage Improvements from 86th Street to 79th Street in the Villages of Justice and Bridgeview, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed $1,250,000.00. The contract was completed on March 2, 2016.
There are no prior change orders for this contract.
This contract is complete and it is necessary to decrease and close this purchase order.
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 Contract 15-IGA-03 in an amount of $68,287.25 (5.46% of the current contract value), from an amount of $1,250,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $1,181,712.75.
Funds will be restored to Account 401-50000-612400.
