COMMITTEE ON PURCHASING
Mr. Richard Lanyon, General Superintendent
Title
Authority to decrease Contract 07-900-01, Emergency Services to Install Temporary Power, Control and Instrumentation for the Dewatering Valve Chamber at the Mainstream Pumping Station, in an amount of $39,537.21, from an amount not to exceed $300,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $260,462.79, Accounts 101-69000-612600
Body
Dear Sir:
An emergency was declared and an emergency Contract was awarded to Divane Brothers Electric Company, at the Board meeting of August 9, 2007, in a total amount not to exceed $300,000.00. The Contract terminated on December 31, 2007.
A decrease in the 2007 funding for Purchase Order 5000767 is requested because the amount of work ordered in 2007 was less than originally anticipated.
In order to reduce the funds allocated to this Contract, it is hereby requested that the Purchasing Agent be authorized to execute a change order to decrease Purchase Order No. 5000767 in the amount of $39,537.21, from an amount not to exceed $300,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $260,462.79 (approximately 13.2% of the existing P.O. value).
This decrease is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since it is due to not reasonably foreseeable circumstances, and is in the best interest of the District.
Funds will be restored to Account 101-69000-612600.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Chief of Maintenance & Operations, MPS:SO’C:MAG:AK
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Purchasing Agent
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
