Body
Dear Sir:
On May 3, 2018, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 18-608-21, Furnish and Deliver Screens, Conveyors, and Grit Classifier to Various Locations, Groups A and B, to WAM North America, Inc. d/b/a Enviro-Care Company, in an amount of $175,133.00. The contract expired on December 8, 2018.
There were no prior change orders to this Contract.
The decrease is for the price difference of the materials supplied. The Contract specified stainless steel explosion-proof panels, which are not available. The Contractor supplied cast aluminum panels which are less expensive and equally acceptable to the Engineer.
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 decrease Contract 18-608-21 in an amount of $10,917.00 (approximately 6.2% of the current contract value) from an amount of $175,133.00 to an amount not to exceed $164,216.00.
Funds will be restored to Account 201-50000-634650.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, EJS:SO’C:MAG:JR:WB
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 April 18, 2019
