Body
Dear Sir:
On August 8, 2019, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 19-804-21, Furnish, Deliver and Install Four Sacrificial Deep Anode Ground Beds for the Cathodic Protection System at the Calumet TARP East and West Pumping Stations, to Industria, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $704,600.00.
This contract has no prior change orders.
Prior to the change order, the contractor had to replace 600 feet of faulty cables, which supply the power for the deep anodes which was identified during course of work. The purpose of this change order is to install a hydraulic cement plug, seal an underground earth fissure, and seal the bottom 50-feet of a deep anode ground bed well. The additional work is the result of an underground earth fissure that was discovered while drilling a deep anode ground bed well.
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 in an amount of $62,000.00 (8.8% of the current contract value), from an amount of $704,600.00, to an amount not to exceed $766,600.00.
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.
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-645700.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance & Operations, EJS:BK:MAG:JR:JMC
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 October 15, 2020
