Body
Dear Sir:
On December 21, 2000, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 98-RFP-10 Design, Build, Own, Finance, Operate and Maintain a 150 Dry Tons Per Day Biosolids Processing Facility at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant and Beneficially Use the Final Product for a Period of 20 years, to Metropolitan Biosolids Management, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $217,169,089.74. The contract expires July 1, 2030.
As of November 20, 2018, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in a decrease to the contract in an amount of $17,717,092.49 from the original amount awarded of $217,169,089.74. The current value of the contract is $199,451,997.25. The prior approved change orders reflect a 8.2% decrease to the original value of the Contract.
An increase in contract value is being requested in order to fund the increase in pelletizer production in 2018.
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 Contract 98-RFP-10 in an amount of $325,000.00 (approximately 0.2% of the current contract value) from an amount of $199,451,997.25 to an amount not to exceed $199,776,997.25.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-612590.

Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
