Title
Authority to increase Contract 10-625-11, Diving Services at Various Locations, to Veolia ES Special Services, Inc., in an amount of $20,000.00, from an amount of $103,205.00 to an amount not to exceed $123,205.00, Account 101-66000-612490, Purchase Order 5001109
Body
Dear Sir:
On January 7, 2010, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 10-625-11, Diving Services at Various Locations, to Veolia ES Special Services, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $95,000.00. The contract expires on March 30, 2012.
As of December 15, 2011, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in an amount of $8,205.00 from the original amount awarded of $95,000.00. The current contract value is $103,205.00. The prior approved change orders reflect an 8.6% increase to the original contract value.
An increase in the contract value is being requested because funds are needed until a new contract is in place in 2012.
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 10-625-11, in an amount of $20,000.00 (approximately 19.4% of the current contract value) from an amount of $103,205.00 to an amount not to exceed $123,205.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-66000-612490.
Requested, Manju P. Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations, SES:SO’C:MAG:LSC:SSG
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 January 5, 2012
