Body
Dear Sir:
On August 12, 2010, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 08-171-3P Westside Imhoff Battery A and Skimming Tank Demolition, Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, to Sollitt/Sachi/Alworth JV, in an amount not to exceed $32,848,000.00. The scheduled contract completion date is December 28, 2012.
As of March 16, 2012, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in an amount of $292,024.00 from the original amount awarded of $32,848,000.00. The current contract value is $33,140,024.00. The prior approved change orders reflect a 0.89% increase to the original contract value.
Additional work is required to revise the layout of the electrical equipment in the Grit Chamber and Screen House Electrical Room. In order to accommodate the installation of new electrical breakers for the new fine screens to be supplied under Contract 11-193-3P, the layout of the electrical equipment within the Grit Chamber and Screen House Electrical Room needs to be revised. The work includes increasing the extent of demolition work on the south wall of the existing Electrical Room, shifting the GC-MCC-1 south within the Electrical Room, installing new Lighting Transformer LT-4, and temporary power feeds. The contractor submitted a cost proposal (CCO-038) for an extra in the amount of $10,469.00. The engineer reviewed the proposal, found it to be reasonable, and stated via correspondence 674, that the Engineering Department would recommend its approval.
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 Contract 08-171-3P in an amount of $10,469.00 (0.03% of the current contract value), from an amount of $33,140,024.00, to an amount not to exceed $33,150,493.00.
Funds are available in Account 401-50000-645650.
Requested, Kenneth A. Kits, Director of Engineering, TEK:ECB
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
