Body
Dear Sir:
On February 7, 2008, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 08-639-11, Furnishing and Delivering Process Water Chemicals and Consulting Services to the Stickney and Calumet Service Areas, to HOH Chemicals, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $258,000.00. The contract expires on December 31, 2010.
This contract has no prior change orders.
Due to less than anticipated use of the services in 2009, funds were not utilized.
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 decrease Contract 08-639-11, in an amount of $21,727.80 (approximately 8.4% of the original contract value), from an amount of $258,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $236,272.20.
Funds will be restored in Account 101-68000-623560.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Director of Maintenance and Operations, OJ:MPS:SO’C:MAG:LSC:IJA
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
