Body
Dear Sir:
On October 6, 2011, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement for Contract 11-RFP-19, Fleet Vehicle Management Services for a 36-Month Period, with LeasePlan USA, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $991,132.00. The original contract expired on October 31, 2014. On September 18, 2014, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to extend the contact for an additional thirty-six (36) month period to October 31, 2017. The Administrative Services Officer has authorized extensions for an additional sixty-one (61) days. On December 21, 2017, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to extend the contact for an additional fifty-nine (59) day period to February 28, 2018.
As of February 16, 2018, the attached change orders have been approved. The net effect of these change orders resulted in an increase totaling $1,781,667.78, from the amount originally awarded of $991,132.00. The current value is $2,772,799.78. The prior approved changes reflect a 179.8% increase to the original contract value.
An increase of $101,250.00 and contract extension of the purchase order through May 31, 2018 will provide for the opportunity to research the best possible options for procuring fleet maintenance services going forward.
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.
In view of the foregoing, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to increase the purchase order in an amount of $101,250.00 (3.7% of the current contract value) from an amount of $2,772,799.78, to an amount not to exceed $2,874,049.78, and extend the agreement for a ninety-two day (92) day period from March 1, 2018 to May 31, 2018.
Funds are available in Accounts 101-15000-612080/612860.
Requested, Eileen M. McElligott, Administrative Services Officer, JRM:LSA
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 March 1, 2018
