Body
Dear Sir:
On September 20, 2007, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Purchasing Agent to award Contract 07-658-11, Sewer Cleaning and TV Inspection of Howard Street Interceptor Sewer No. 4, to Midwest Power Vac, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $131,160.00. The contract expired on May 31, 2008.
This contract has no prior change orders.
Due to less than anticipated use of the services from January 1, 2008 to May 31, 2008, funds in the amount of $24,612.00 were not utilized.
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 Purchasing Agent to execute a change order to decrease Contract 07-658-11 in an amount of $24,612.00 (18.8% of the current contract value), from an amount of $131,160.00, to an amount not to exceed $106,548.00.
Funds will be restored in Account 101-67000-612600.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Chief of Maintenance and Operations, OJ:MPS:SO’C:MAG:IJA
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Purchasing Agent
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
