Body
Dear Sir:
On July 9, 2009, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 09-627-11 Furnishing, Delivering and Rental of Arc Flash Personal Protective Equipment for the Calumet and North Service Areas, to Lechner and Sons, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $332,250.00. The contract expires on August 1, 2012.
This contract has no prior change orders.
A decrease in contract value is being requested at this time because the utilization of the contract services in 2009 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 09-627-11 in an amount of $32,327.87 (9.7% of the current contract value) from an amount of $332,250.00 to an amount not to exceed $299,922.13.
Funds will be restored in Account 101-68000-612330.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Director of Maintenance and Operations, OJ:MPS:SO'C:MAG:LSC:JK
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 March 4, 2010
