COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT

 

Mr. Richard Lanyon, Executive Director

 

Title

Authority to increase Contract 09-440-13, Environmental Cleanup and Emergency Response at Various District Facilities in Cook County, to SET Environmental, Inc., in an amount of $15,400.00, from an amount of $60,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $75,400.00, Account 101-66000-612520, Purchase Order 5001102

Body

 

Dear Sir:

 

On November 19, 2009, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 09-440-13, Environmental Cleanup and Emergency Response at Various District Facilities in Cook County to SET Environmental, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $60,000.00. The contract expires on December 7, 2010.

 

This contract has no prior change orders.

 

An increase is being requested at this time to perform additional specified work to clean up above ground storage tank spills at the Egan Water Reclamation Plant and the Fulton County Site, and to perform concrete coring work needed for the mercury-containing standpipe removal at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant.

 

This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since this increase 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 increase Contract 09-440-13, in an amount of $15,400.00 (approximately 25.67% of the current contract value), from an amount of $60,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $75,400.00.

 

Funds are available in Account 101-66000-612520.

 

Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations, MPS:SO’C:MAG:LSC:MW

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 August 12, 2010
