COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to decrease Contract 14-692-12, Utilization and Transportation of Air Dried Biosolids from LASMA and CALSMA, to Synagro Central, LLC, in an amount of $100,000.00 from an amount of $3,113,247.69 to an amount not to exceed $3,013,247.69, Account 101-66000-612520, Purchase Order 5001457
Body
Dear Sir:
On April 17, 2014, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 14-692-12, Utilization and Transportation of Air Dried Biosolids from LASMA and CALSMA, to Synagro Central, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $4,587,200.00. The contract will expire on December 31, 2017.
As of November 1, 2017, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in a decrease in an amount of $1,473,952.31 from the original amount awarded of $4,587,200.00. The current contract value is $3,113,247.69. The prior approved change orders reflect a 32.1% decrease to the original contract value.
A decrease in contract value is being requested because the estimated expenditure for 2017 is less than the original amount budgeted for 2017. The decrease is recommended based on the anticipated need for truck hauling services at LASMA in 2017.
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 14-692-12, in an amount of $100,000.00 (approximately 3.2% of the current contract value) from an amount of $3,113,247.69 to an amount not to exceed $3,013,247.69.
Funds will be restored to Account 101-66000-612520.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, BAP:SO’C:MAG:JR
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
