Dear Sir:
On February 18, 2010, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order to J.D. Wilson Associates, Inc., to furnish and deliver Vaughan chopper pumps and parts to the North Side, Hanover Park, and Calumet Water Reclamation Plants, in an amount not to exceed $170,835.00. The contract expires on December 31, 2012.
This contract has no prior change orders.
An increase is needed to purchase two additional Vaughan chopper pumps in 2010, in order to accelerate the program of replacing the existing grinders in the concentration area at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant with Vaughan chopper pumps.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change is germane to the contract, 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 the purchase order in an amount of $23,950.00 (approximately 14.0% of the current contract value), from an amount of $170,835.00, to an amount not to exceed $194,785.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-68000-623270.
