Body
Dear Sir:
On March 19, 2009, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 09-692-11, Utilization and Transportation of Air Dried Biosolids from LASMA and the Calumet Service Area, to Synagro Central, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $1,600,000.00. The contract expired on December 31, 2009.
This contract has no prior change orders.
A decrease in 2009 funds is being requested at this time because the utilization of the contract was less than originally anticipated.
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 09-692-11 in an amount of $276,200.33 (17.3% of the current total contract value) from an amount of $1,600,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $1,323,799.67.
Funds will be restored in Account 101-66000-612520.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Director of Maintenance and Operations, OJ:MPS:SO’C:MAG:LSC:TRS 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 February 4, 2010
