Mr. Richard Lanyon, Executive Director
Title
Authority to increase purchase order and amend the agreement with Dresser, Inc., for repair services and replacement parts for the Dresser-Roots centrifugal compressor system at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount of $30,000.00, from an amount of $30,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $60,000.00, Account 101-69000-612650, Purchase Order 3039161
Body
Dear Sir:
On July 13, 2006, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Dresser, Inc., to provide services and replacement parts for the Dresser-Roots centrifugal compressor system at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $30,000.00. The contract expires on July 15, 2009.
This contract has no prior change orders.
The need for the increase is due to the need to replace the controller for Blower #6 at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant.
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 increase the Purchase Order 3039161 and amend the agreement in an amount of $30,000.00 (100.0% of the current contract value) from an amount of $30,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $60,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-612650.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Director of Maintenance and Operations, OJ:MPS:SO’C:MAG:EEW
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for April 2, 2009
