Body
Dear Sir:
On September 15, 2011, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 11-653-11, Underground Infrastructure Cleaning at Various Service Areas, to Sheridan Plumbing & Sewer, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $953,000.00. The contract expires on September 30, 2013.
This contract has no prior change orders.
An increase in the contract value is being requested because the actual expenditures for 2012 and 2013 are expected to be more than originally anticipated.
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 increase Contract 11-653-11, in an amount of $125,000.00 (approximately 13.1% of the current contract value) from an amount of $953,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $1,078,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-67000-612600.
Requested, Manju P. Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations, SES:SO’C:MAG:LSC:SSG
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 January 5, 2012
