Title
Authority to decrease purchase order for Contract 06-125-11, Analyses of Environmental Samples from Fulton County Land Reclamation Project Site to PDC Laboratories, Inc., in an amount of $10,321.00, from an amount of $28,336.00, to an amount not to exceed $18,015.00, Account 101-16000-612490, Purchase Order 3036697
Body
Dear Sir:
On February 16, 2006, the Board of Commissioners passed an order authorizing the Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase order (PO) for Contract 06-125-11, analyses of environmental samples from Fulton County land reclamation project site to PDC Laboratories, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $37,248.00. The contract expired December 31, 2007.
On April 3, 2007, a change order decrease for $8,912.00 was approved by the Purchasing Department. A final change order decrease is needed to reduce and close out the contract.
The change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the decrease is due to circumstances germane to the contract, and is in the best interest of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago.
It is hereby requested that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Purchasing Agent to execute a change order to decrease the PO for Contract 06-125-11, in an amount of $10,321.00 (36.4 percent of the current contract value), from an amount of $28,336.00 to an amount not to exceed $18,015.00.
Funds will be restored to Account 101-16000-612490, Corporate Fund.
Requested, Louis Kollias, Director of Research and Development, LK:WJS:MPC:KB:bk
