COMMITTEE ON PURCHASING
Mr. Richard Lanyon, General Superintendent
Title
Authority to increase purchase order with T & J Plumbing, Inc., for emergency plumbing services on an as needed basis in an amount of $249.13, from an amount of $9,900.00, to an amount not to exceed $10,149.13 Account 101-15000-612680, Purchase Order 8005202
Body
Dear Sir:
On December 18, 2007 a purchase order was issued by the Purchasing Agent to T & J Plumbing Inc. for emergency plumbing services on an as needed basis in the amount of $9,000.00. This purchase order expires December 31, 2008.
As of October 1, 2008, the attached change order has been approved. The effect of this change order resulted in an increase in an amount of $900.00 from the original amount of $9,000.00. The current purchase order value is $9,900.00. The prior approved change order reflects a ten percent increase to the original purchase order value.
An increase in the purchase order value is requested for payment of emergency plumbing services.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change is due to circumstances not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed, 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 in the amount of $249.13 (2.5% of the current purchase order value) from an amount of $9,900.00 to an amount not to exceed $10,149.13.
Funds are available in Account 101-15000-612680.
Requested, Edmund J. Cook, Deputy Chief Engineer, EJC:EMcE:BKS:MG:CW:PJC
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Purchasing Agent
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for December 18, 2008
