Title
Authority to increase Contract 18-653-11, Underground Infrastructure Cleaning at Various Locations, to Sheridan Plumbing & Sewer, Inc., in an amount of $15,000.00, from an amount of $1,085,978.15, to an amount not to exceed $1,100,978.15, Account 101-66000-612600, Purchase Order 5001642
Body
Dear Sir:
On January 4, 2018, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 18-653-11, Underground Infrastructure Cleaning at Various Locations, to Sheridan Plumbing & Sewer, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,076,675.00. The contract expires on December 31, 2019.
As of October 15, 2019, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in an amount of $9,303.15 from the original amount awarded of $1,076,675.00. The current contract value is $1,085,978.15. The prior approved change orders reflect a less than one percent increase to the original contract value.
This 2019 increase is necessary due to a greater need for underground infrastructure cleaning services than anticipated at the time the contract was awarded.
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 18-653-11, in an amount of $15,000.00 (approximately 1.4% of the current contract value) from an amount of $1,085,978.15 to an amount not to exceed $1,100,978.15.
Funds are available in Account 101-66000-612600.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, EJS:BK:MAG:JR:SSG
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 7, 2019
