Authority to increase Contract 02-009-3S, Evanston Intercepting Sewer Rehabilitation, Lake Street Leg, to Kenny Construction Company, in an amount of $25,114.00, from an amount of $8,394,452.00, to an amount not to exceed $8,419,566.00, Account 401-50000-645600, Purchase Order 5000618
Body
Dear Sir:
On October 5, 2006, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 02-009-3S, Evanston Intercepting Sewer Rehabilitation, Lake Street Leg, to Kenny Construction Company, in an amount not to exceed $8,187,552.00. The contract was scheduled to expire on January 24, 2008.
As of October 2, 2009, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in an amount of $206,900.00 from the original amount awarded of $8,187,552.00. The current contract value is $8,394,452.00. The prior approved change orders reflect a 2.5 percent increase to the original contract value.
This change order is for the extra work performed in removing abandoned water mains crossing the sewer at two locations, Grey and Brown Avenues, because the water mains were obstructing the insertion of the sewer liner.
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 02-009-3S, in an amount of $25,114.00 (0.3% of the current contract value), from an amount of $8,394,452.00, to an amount not to exceed $8,419,566.00.
Funds are available in Account 401-50000-645600.
Requested, Joseph P. Sobanski, Director of Engineering, WSS:AP
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 October 15, 2009
