COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to decrease purchase order and amend the agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc., for parts and services to maintain (4) ARH variable frequency drives at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount of $67,613.94, from an amount of $100,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $32,386.06, Account 101-68000-612600, Purchase Order 3069521.
Body
Dear Sir:
On March 3, 2011, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Siemens Industry, Inc., for parts and services to maintain (4) ARH variable frequency drives at the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $100,000.00. The contract expired on December 31, 2011.
This purchase order has no prior change orders.
A decrease in the purchase order value is being requested because parts and services required were less than planned.
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 Director of Procurement and Materials Management to execute a change order to decrease the purchase order and amend the agreement in an amount of $67,613.94 (approximately 68% of the current contract value), from an amount of $100,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $32,386.06.
Funds will be restored to Account 101-68000-612600.
Requested, Manju P. Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations, SES:SO’C:MAG:LSC:DS
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for February 2, 2012
