Mr. Richard Lanyon, General Superintendent
Title
Authority to decrease purchase order and amend the agreement with Siemens Water Technologies Corp., to furnish and deliver Bioxide to the Kirie Water Reclamation Plant in an amount of $35,196.30, from an amount of $70,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $34,803.70 Account 101-67000-623560, Purchase Order 3051915
Body
Dear Sir:
On May 15, 2008, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Siemens Water Technologies Corp., to furnish and deliver Bioxide and provide technical expertise to the Kirie Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $70,000.00. The contract expires on December 31, 2008.
This contract has no prior change orders.
A decrease is requested because the Bioxide ordered was less than the amount originally anticipated.
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 Purchasing Agent to execute a change order to decrease the purchase order and amend the agreement in an amount of $35,196.30 (approximately 50% of the current contract value) from an amount of $70,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $34,803.70.
Funds will be restored in Account 101-67000-623560.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Chief of Maintenance and Operations, OJ:MPS:SO’C:MAG:BSO
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Purchasing Agent
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for December 18, 2008
