Dear Sir:
On May 15, 2008, the Board of Commissioners declared an emergency affecting public health and safety and authorized the Purchasing Agent to enter into an agreement with Joel Kennedy Constructing Corp., Contract 08-700-01, Emergency Repair of a Centrate/Sludge Line on Plum Grove Road in Schaumburg, Illinois, in an amount not to exceed $100,000.00. The Board fixed the date on which the emergency terminates as June 30, 2008. On June 19, 2008, a final report stated that the emergency repairs were completed on May 10, 2008. The total cost of repairs was $32,083.61.
This contract has no prior change orders.
The change order is being requested because the emergency was resolved before the full authorized amount was expended.
This Change Order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change order is due to circumstances not reasonably foreseeable, 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 08-700-01 in an amount of $67,916.39 (67.9% of the current contract value) from an amount of $100,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $32,083.61.
