Title
Authority to increase Contract 17-640-11, Furnishing and Delivering Sodium Bisulfite, to PVS Chemical Solutions, Inc., in an amount of $212,964.38 from an amount of $1,755,208.76 to an amount not to exceed $1,968,173.14, Accounts 101-67000/68000-623560, Purchase Orders 3093827 and 3093829
Body
Dear Sir:
On April 6, 2017, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order for Contract 17-640-11, Furnishing and Delivering Sodium Bisulfite, to PVS Chemical Solutions, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $2,224,784.00. The contract will expire on April 18, 2020.
As of February 20, 2020, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in a decrease in an amount of $469,575.24 from the original amount awarded of $2,224,784.00. The current contract value is $1,755,208.76. The prior approved change orders reflect a 21.1% decrease to the original contract value.
This 2020 increase is necessary to maintain continuous delivery of sodium bisulfite to the Egan, Hanover Park, Kirie, and Calumet Water Reclamation Plants until the new 2020 contract is in place.
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 17-640-11, in an amount of $212,964.38 (approximately 12.1% of the current contract value) from an amount of $1,755,208.76 to an amount not to exceed $1,968,173.14.
Funds are available in Accounts 101-67000/68000-623560.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance & 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 March 5, 2020
