Body
Dear Sir:
On August 9, 2007, the Board of Commissioners passed an order authorizing the Purchasing Agent to award Contract 07-655-11, Services for Manhole Repairs at Various Locations, to Northwest General Contractors, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $280,200.00. The contract expired on December 31, 2007.
This contract has no prior change orders.
Due to less than anticipated use of the services in 2007, funds in the total amount of $92,058.23 were not utilized.
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 requested that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Purchasing Agent to execute a change order to decrease purchase orders 5000763, 5000764 and 5000765 by $15,000.00, $33,700.00, and $43,358.23, respectively, for a total decrease of $92,058.23 (33% of the current Contract value), from an amount of $280,200.00 to an amount not to exceed $188,141.77.
Funds will be restored in Accounts 101-67000, 68000, 69000-612600.
