Body
Dear Sir:
On January 10, 2008, in accordance with Section 11.5 of the Purchasing Act, an operating emergency was declared to effect immediate installation of canopy scaffolding in the alley between the Main Office Building and the Farwell Building at 664 N. Michigan Avenue. Contract 08-169-1D, Emergency Canopy Installation at MOB Alley was issued to National Wrecking Co., in an amount not to exceed $24,944.24. The scheduled contract completion date was October 8, 2008.
As of March 16, 2012, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in an amount of $8,435.72 from the original amount awarded of $24,944.24. The current contract value is $33,379.96. The prior approved change orders reflect a 33.82% increase to the original contract value.
The project is complete and it is necessary to decrease and close this purchase order.
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 08-169-1D in an amount of $2,536.28 (7.6% of the current contract value), from an amount of $33,379.96, to an amount not to exceed $30,843.68.
Funds will be restored to Account 101-50000-612680.
