Title
Authority to increase Contract 11-761-21, Building Restoration at the North Side and Calumet Water Reclamation Plants, to Restore Masonry, LLC, in an amount of $133,802.00, from an amount of $964,605.00, to an amount not to exceed $1,098,407.00, Accounts 201-50000-645750, Purchase Order 5001385
Body
 
Dear Sir:
 
On November 1, 2012, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 11-761-21, Building Restoration at the North Side and Calumet Water Reclamation Plants, to Restore Masonry, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $964,605.00. The contract expires on November 20, 2013.
 
This contract has no prior change orders.
 
The increase in the contract value is to rehabilitate unanticipated deteriorated structural steel, discovered during routine contract work at the Blower Building at the North Side (now O'Brien) Water Reclamation Plant. The deterioration was caused by long term moisture damage. The rehabilitation will include the placement of new structural steel as necessary, and all restoration.
 
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 11-761-21, in an amount of $133,802.00 (approximately 13.9% of the current contract value), from an amount of $964,605.00, to an amount not to exceed $1,098,407.00.
 
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-645750.
 
Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, Director of Maintenance & Operations, SES:SO'C:MAG:LSC:SSG
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
