Body
Dear Sir:
On October 19, 2006, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 93-232-2M Hydraulic Improvements at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, to IHC Construction/FHP Tectonics, Joint Venture, in an amount not to exceed $120,890,000.00. The scheduled contract completion date is January 13, 2011.
As of September 3, 2010, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in the amount of $1,939,521.96 from the original amount awarded of $120,890,000.00. The current contract value is $122,829,521.96. The prior approved change orders reflect a 1.60% increase to the original contract value.
The changes are requested for furnishing and installing a Class 1 Division 2 rated water heater and recirculation pump in the Screen Building West Mechanical Room. The contract documents incorrectly specified unclassified equipment to be supplied.
The contractor submitted a cost proposal (COR-91) for an extra in the amount of $25,246.30 and a credit in the amount of $13,463.10 for a net extra in the amount of $11,783.20. The engineer reviewed the proposal, found it reasonable, and stated via file letter 1180, that the Engineering Department would recommend its approval.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change is germane to the contract.
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 93-232-2M in an amount of $11,783.20 (0.01% of the current contract value) from an amount of $122,829,521.96 to an amount not to exceed $122,841,305.16.
Funds are available in Accounts 401-50000-645650 and 645750.
Requested, Kenneth A. Kits, Director of Engineering, TEK:ECB
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
