Title
Authority to decrease Contract 16-630-11, Furnishing and Delivering Ferric Chloride to the Egan Water Reclamation Plant, to Kemira Water Solutions, Inc., in an amount of $78,000.00 from an amount of $275,883.19 to an amount not to exceed $197,883.19, Account 101-67000-623560, Purchase Order 3089885
Body
Dear Sir:
On May 19, 2016, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 16-630-11, Furnishing and Delivering Ferric Chloride to the Egan Water Reclamation Plant, to Kemira Water Solutions, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $326,410.00. The contract terminates on June 11, 2018.
As of August 14, 2017, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in a decrease in an amount of $50,526.81 from the original amount awarded of $326,410.00. The current contract value is $275,883.19. The prior approved change orders reflect a 15.5% decrease to the original contract value.
A decrease in contract value is being requested because the actual usage of ferric chloride at the Egan Water Reclamation Plant was less than anticipated for 2017, due to contract work on the plant’s digesters, and repair work on the plant’s dewatering system.
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 decrease Contract 16-630-11, in an amount of $78,000.00 (approximately 28.3% of the current contract value) from an amount of $275,883.19 to an amount not to exceed $197,883.19.
Funds will be restored to Account 101-67000-623560.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, BAP:SO’C:MAG:JR: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 August 31, 2017
