Title
Authority to increase purchase order and amend the agreement with Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation to furnish and deliver two generators to provide backup power for the Bartlett Pumping Station and Walters Road Pumping Station, in an amount of $10,010.00, from an amount of $10,000.00 to an amount of $20,010.00, Account 101-67000-612330, Purchase Order 8006003
Body
Dear Sir:
On April 14, 2009, the Director of Procurement and Materials Management issued a purchase order and entered into an agreement with Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation, to furnish and deliver two generators to provide backup power for the Bartlett Pumping Station and Walters Road Pumping Station through December 31, 2009.
This purchase order has no prior change orders.
The increase is needed to provide backup power until Contract 09-717-11, Rental of Portable Emergency Generators to the North Service Area, becomes available.
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 purchase order 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 and amend the agreement in an amount of $10,010.00 (100.1% of the current purchase order value) from an amount of $10,000.00 to an amount of $20,010.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-612330.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Director of Maintenance and Operations, OJ:MPS:SO’C:MAG:TW
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for July 9, 2009
