Body
Dear Sir:
On August 14, 2008, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 08-656-11, Services to Inspect and Maintain TARP Electrical Control Chambers and Tide Gate Monitoring Systems at Various Locations, to Divane Bros. Electric Co., in an amount not to exceed $898,000.00. The contract expired on August 31, 2010.
As of November 16, 2010, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in a decrease in an amount of $30,871.72 from the original amount awarded of $898,000.00. The current contract value is $867,128.28. The prior approved change orders reflect a 3.4% decrease to the original contract value.
Due to less than anticipated use of the services in 2010, funds were not utilized at the Stickney and Calumet service areas.
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 08-656-11 in an amount of $45,277.07 (approximately 5.2% of the current contract value), from an amount of $867,128.28, to an amount not to exceed $821,851.21.
Funds will be restored in Accounts 101-68000/69000-612600.
Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations, SO’C:MAG:LSC:IJA
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
