Body
Dear Sir:
On September 17, 2009, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 09-641-11, Furnishing and Delivering Liquid Carbon Dioxide, and Maintaining the Carbon Dioxide Storage Tank and Feed System at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, to Linde LLC, in an amount not to exceed $600,000.00. The contract expires on December 1, 2010.
This contract has no prior change orders.
An increase is required at this time to keep the existing contract funded until a replacement contract is in place. The contract termination date will also be extended by up to three months, from December 1, 2010, to January 31, 2011, for the additional services.
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 increase Contract 09-641-11 in an amount of $145,000.00 (approximately 24.2% of the current contract value), from an amount of $600,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $745,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-623560.
