Authority to increase purchase order and amend the agreement with Skillsoft Corporation, for Contract 14-RFP-24 E-Learning Courseware/Learning Management System, in an amount of $15,066.61, from an amount of $299,172.61, to an amount not to exceed $314,239.22, Accounts 101-25000-612820 and 101-27000-612820, Purchase Order 3083425
Body
Dear Sir:
On September 4, 2014, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue purchase order and enter into an agreement for Contract 14-RFP-24 E-Learning Courseware/Learning Management with Skillsoft, in an amount not to exceed $282,000.00. The contract expires on December 31, 2019.
As of September 19, 2019, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in an amount of $17,172.61, from the original amount awarded of $282,000.00. The current contract value is $299,172.61. The prior approved change orders reflect a 6.1 percent increase to the original contract value.
This change order is requested to maintain employee access to the current Learning Management System and courseware through March 31, 2020 until a contract can be awarded and implemented for a new Learning Management System and courseware.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Appendix A and Appendix V are not included because there are no direct or indirect subcontracting opportunities.
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 and amend the agreement for Contract 14-RFP-24 in an amount of $15,066.61 (5% of the current contract value), from an amount of $299,172.61 to an amount not to exceed $314,239.22.
Funds are available in Account 101-27000-612820.
Requested, John H. Sudduth, Director of Information Technology, JHS:SW:sw
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
