Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to increase purchase order and amend the agreement with Foley & Lardner LLP, for legal services in an amount of $33,347.31, from an amount of $70,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $103,347.13, Account 101-11000-612430, Purchase Order 3096733
Body
Dear sir:
Authorization is request to increase and close purchase order and amend the agreement with Foley & Lardner LLP, for legal services related to the District's engineering professional service contracts.
As of February 22, 2018, the attached change orders have been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increse in the amount of $60,500.00 from the original amount awarded of $9,500.00. The current contract value is $70,000.00.
The law firm of Foley & Lardner LLP provided legal services at the rate of $390.00 per hour.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code because the change is germane to the original agreement as signed and 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 increase and close the purchase order for the agreement in an amount of $33,347.31 (approximately 47.6 percent of the current contract value) from an amount of $70,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $103,347.13.
Funds are available in Account 101-11000-612430.
Requested, Mary Ann Boyle, Treasurer; MB:TN
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
