Body
Dear Sir:
On January 24, 2019, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order to AT&T Corp, to furnish and deliver POTs Local and Long-Distance services, in an amount not to exceed $242,323.90. The purchase order originally expired on February 28, 2019.
As of March 14, 2019, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase and extension through March 31, 2019 in an amount of $49,500.00 from the original amount awarded of $242,323.90. The current purchase order value is $291,823.90. The prior approved change orders reflect a 20% increase to the original purchase order value.
The purpose of this change order is to reduce and close the purchase order.
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 purchase order 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 and close the purchase order in an amount of $26,383.10 (9% of the current purchase order value), from an amount of $291,823.90, to an amount not to exceed $265,440.80.
Funds will be restored to Account 101-27000-612210.
