TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF MAY 6, 2010
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. Richard Lanyon, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to amend the scope of work with the Illinois Institute of Technology, under the Illinois Institute of Technology Master Agreement, to conduct a review of the odor monitoring program and identify odor control technology for each treatment process at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $794,200.00, Account 401-51000-601170, Purchase Order 3052794
Body
Dear Sir:
At the Board Meeting of August 14, 2008, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to engage in the above stated action, agenda file number 08-1783.
Subsequently, at the Board Meeting of May 21, 2009, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to amend the scope of work to include a similar study at the Egan Water Reclamation Plant and also to limit those tasks as originally proposed, to those associated with the odor study of the centrifuge building at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant (WRP), agenda file number 09-0794.
The Maintenance and Operations Department now desires to revise the scope of work to include a study, similar to that currently underway at the centrifuge building at the Stickney WRP, at the Stickney WRP digester complex.
The purpose of the study at the Stickney WRP digester complex is to identify inorganic and organic odorous compounds and their sources and to develop and recommend technology to control odor at the digesters.
This change will have no impact on the cost of the purchase order. Therefore, no additional funds will be required.
Therefore, it is requested that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to amend the scope of work to include the Stickney WRP digester complex odor study.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Director of Maintenance and Operations, OJ:MPS:SO’C
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 May 6, 2010.
