TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF NOVEMBER 1, 2018
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. John P. Murray, Acting Executive Director
Title
Authority to increase the purchase order and amend the agreement with Foley & Lardner LLP, for legal services in an amount of $2,769.00, from an amount of $51,412.00, to an amount not to exceed $54,181.00, Account 101-11000-612430, Purchase Order 3099685
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to increase purchase order and amend the agreement with Foley & Lardner LLP, for legal services related to an employment matter.
As of October 19, 2018, the attached list of change orders have been approved. The effect of this change order resulted in an increase in the amount of $41,912.00 from the original amount awarded of $9,500.00. The current value is $51,412.00.
The law firm of Foley & Lardner LLP has submitted their final invoice. Once final payment is completed, this agreement will be closed.
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 the purchase order for the agreement in an amount of $2,769.00 from an amount of $51,412.00, to an amount not to exceed $54,181.00.
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
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for November 1, 2018
