Body
Dear Sir:
On March 15, 2007, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement for Contract 06-RFP-26, Legal Services for Workers’ Compensation Defense with Dennis Noble & Associates PC, in an amount not to exceed $150,000.00. The contract expired on December 31, 2008.
As of December 31, 2009, the attached lists of change orders have been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in an amount of $59,900.00 from the original total amount awarded of $150,000.00. The current contract value is $209,900.00. The prior approved change orders reflect a 39.93% increase to the original contract value.
The purpose of this change order is to reduce and close the purchase order.
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 the purchase order and amend the agreement in an amount of $2,890.76 (1.37% of the current contract value), from an amount of $209,900.00, to an amount not to exceed $207,009.24.
Funds will be restored to Account 101-30000-601170.
Requested, Frederick M. Feldman, General Counsel, FMF:VMM:BTS Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
