Body
Dear Sir:
At the Board meeting of January 24, 2019, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement for Contract 19-RFP-01 Perform Federal Legislative Consulting Services, with O’Connell & Dempsey, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $150,000.00. The contract expires on December 31, 2019.
There is no history of prior change orders.
Under the terms of the agreement, the District is allowed an option to extend the services for two (2) additional one-year periods using the same hourly rates in effect under the above purchase order. This request represents the first extension under these terms.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code because it was specifically provided for in the original contract, is germane to the original contract as 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 exercise an option to extend the agreement for a one-year period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, for Contract 19-RFP-01 with O’Connell & Dempsey, LLC in an amount of $150,000.00 (100% of the current contract value), from an amount of $150,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $300,000.00.
Funds for the 2020 expenditure in Account 101-15000-612430 are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for that year.
