TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF DECEMBER 21, 2017
COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to increase the purchase order and amend the agreement with Foley & Lardner LLP, for legal services in an amount of $60,500.00, from an amount of $9,500.00, to an amount not to exceed $70,000.00, Account 101-11000-612430, Purchase Order 3096733
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to increase purchase order and amend the agreement with Foley & Lardner LLP, for legal services related to the District's engineering professional service contracts.
No prior change order has been requested.
The law firm of Foley & Lardner LLP will continue to provide legal services at the rate of $390.00 per hour.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code because the change is germane to the original agreement as signed and 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 and amend the agreement in an amount of $60,500.00 from an amount of $9,500.00, to an amount not to exceed $70,000.00.
Funds for the 2017 expenditures in the amount of $60,000.00 are available in Account 101-11000-612430. The estimated expenditure for 2018 is $10,000.00 and is contingent on the Board of Commissioners' approval of the District's budget for that year.
Requested, Mary Ann Boyle, Treasurer; MB:TN
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 December 21, 2017
