Body
Dear Sir:
On May 1, 2008, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase order for Contract 08-676-11 Pest Control Services in the Calumet Service Area to Midwest Sanitation Co., Inc., in an amount not to exceed $56,400.00. The contract expires on June 11, 2010.
This contract has no prior change orders.
An increase in the contract is being requested to include the Main Office Building Complex to the serviced locations for pest control.
The 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 increase the purchase order for Contract 08-676-11 in an amount of $8,000.00 (14.2 percent of the current contract value) from an amount of $56,400.00 to an amount not to exceed $64,400.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-15000-612370, 612390. Funds for subsequent years 2009 and 2010 are contingent upon the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for those years.

Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
