Dear Sir:
On September 21, 2023, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 22-875-1S Television Inspection and Recording of Sewers and Manholes at Various Locations to National Power Rodding, in an amount not to exceed $7,525,000.00. The scheduled contract completion date is April 25, 2027.

The District’s Collection Asset Management Program (CAMP), established in 2013, provides the framework for inspecting and assessing the condition of the District’s collection system. CAMP requires that District assets be inspected on 1, 3, 5 and 10-year cycles, depending on the condition of each sewer. The Engineering Department administers Contract 22-875-1S to perform these inspections and ensure systematic evaluation of the District’s collection system assets.
An increase in value of $326,300.00 is requested to allow for the inspection and rehabilitation of additional District assets at the current contract rates. These additional funds will be used to inspect the Upper Des Plaines Intercepting Sewers 11A and 14C through closed-circuit television inspection, and to perform Cure-In-Place Pipe lining on portions of the Calumet Intercepting Sewer 13A. A new three-year sewer televising contract is under development and is anticipated to be awarded in early 2027, however, this change order will ensure the work gets performed on schedule and using the current contract rates. As such, it is in the District’s best interest to perform this additional work under the current contract.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change is germane to the contract.
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to execute a change order for Contract 22-875-1S in an amount of $326,300.00 (4.34 percent of the current contract value), from an amount of $7,525,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $7,851,300.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-50000-612240.
Requested, Catherine A. O’Connor, Director of Engineering, KMF:LS:FW
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Precious Brady-Davis, Chairperson, Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for August 13, 2026
