Dear Sir:
On November 5, 2015, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 15-802-21, Furnish, Deliver and Install a Hydraulic Operator at TARP Gate Structure Number 1 in the Calumet Service Area, to Ornelas Construction Company, in an amount not to exceed $1,324,000.00. The contract was completed on October 13, 2017.
There have been no prior change orders to this Contract.
A decrease in contract value is being requested to close out the 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 15-802-21, in an amount of $66,924.23 (approximately 5.1% of the current contract value) from an amount of $1,324,000.00 to a final amount of $1,257,075.77.
Funds will be restored to Account 201-50000-645600.
