Title
Authority to increase and extend the purchase order with AT&T Corp., for Contract 16-RFP-06 Internet Services, in an amount of $26,245.56, from an amount of $252,827.69, to an amount not to exceed $279,073.25, Account 101-27000-612210, Purchase Order 3093695
Body
Dear Sir:
On January 5, 2017, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue purchase order and enter into an agreement for Contract 16-RFP-06 Internet Services with AT&T Corp., in an amount not to exceed $290,958.48. The contract expires on February 29, 2020.
As of February 10, 2020, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in a decrease in an amount of $38,130.79 from the original amount awarded of $290,958.48. The current contract value is $252,827.69. The prior approved change orders reflect a 13% decrease to the original contract value.
The increase is needed to extend the purchase order for three months through May 31, 2020 while a new RFP is issued for internet services.
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 and extend the purchase order for Contract 16-RFP-06, Internet Services, in an amount of $26,245.56 (10.4% of the current contract value), from an amount of $252,827.69, to an amount not to exceed $279,073.25.
Funds are available in account 101-27000-612210
Requested, John Sudduth, Director of Information Technology, JS:SK:BTS
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
