Body

 

Dear Sir:

 

On October 7, 2010, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 10-771-11, Underground Infrastructure Cleaning and Manhole Repairs in the North Service Area to Sheridan Plumbing & Sewer, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $198,598.45. The contract expires on December 31, 2010.

 

This contract has no prior change orders.

 

An increase in 2010 funds is being requested at this time to restore the flow capacity of the Upper Des Plaines 11F interceptor. This work involves cleaning 1,227 feet of 18 inch interceptor and 202 feet of 4 feet 6 inch, by 5 feet interceptor.

 

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 the purchase order in an amount of $24,985.15 (12.6% of the current contract value) from an amount of $198,598.45, to an amount not to exceed $223,583.60.

 

Funds are available in Account 101-67000-612600.
