Body
Dear Sir:
On August 10, 2006, the Board of Commissioners (Board) authorized the Purchasing Agent to issue Purchase Order (PO) 3039975 for Contract 06-130-12, in the amount of $34,235.00 to Environmental Inc. for radiochemical analysis for a 13-month period ending December 31, 2007.
A prior change order (CO) increase was authorized by the Purchasing Agent on August 9, 2007 for $33,285.00, increasing the PO value from $34,235.00 to $67,520.00.
This contract is being decreased by $14,030.00 due to the award of replacement Contract 07-130-12 by the Board on September 6, 2007.
This CO is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since this CO is due to not reasonably foreseeable circumstances, and is in the best interest of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. Therefore, funding will be restored to Account 101-16000-612490, Corporate Fund, and the PO will be closed.
Requested, Louis Kollias, Director of Research and Development, LK:WJS:MPC:KB:bk
