Body
Dear Sir:
On August 6, 2009, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 09-691-13, Group A, Truck Hauling of Processed Solids for LASMA and CALSMA, to Gosia Cartage, Ltd., in an amount not to exceed $952,000.00. The contract expired on August 31, 2010.
This contract has no prior change orders.
Due to less than anticipated use of the services in 2010, funds were not utilized.
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 09-691-13 in an amount of $182,180.98 (approximately 19.1% of the current contract value), from an amount of $952,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $769,819.02.
Funds will be restored in Account 101-66000-612520.
Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations,
