Body
Dear Sir:
On January 4, 2007, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue Purchase Order 3042690, in the amount of $3,691,783.00, to Black & Veatch Corporation to provide professional engineering services for Contract 05-208-4F, Groundwater Protection System, Thornton Composite Reservoir, Calumet Service Area.
The contract has no prior change orders.
The company’s services are no longer needed and it is necessary to decrease and close said purchase order.
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 decrease purchase order 3042690, in an amount of $27,881.99, (0.76% of the current purchase order value), from an amount not to exceed $3,691,783.00, to an amount not exceed $3,663,901.01.
Funds will be restored in Account 401-50000-601420.
