Title
Authority to decrease Contract 98-260-2M Coarse Screens Installation, Piping and Electrical Work, 95th Street and 125th Street Pumping Stations, to F.H. Paschen/S.N. Nielsen in an amount of $1,324,739.99, from an amount of $10,518,467.76, to an amount not to exceed $9,193,727.77, Accounts 401-50000-645600 and 645700, Purchase Order 5000900
Body
 
Dear Sir:
 
On September 9, 2004, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 98-260-2M Coarse Screens Installation, Piping and Electrical Work, 95th Street and 125th Street Pumping Stations, to F.H. Paschen/S.N. Nielsen, in an amount not to exceed $10,319,000.00. The scheduled contract completion date was September 28, 2005.
 
As of April 20, 2012, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in an amount of $199,467.76 from the original amount awarded of $10,319,000.00. The current contract value is $10,518,467.76. The prior approved change orders reflect a 1.93% increase to the original contract value.
 
The contract is complete and it is necessary to decrease and close this purchase order.
 
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 Contract 98-260-2M in an amount of $1,324,739.99 (12.59% of the current contract value), from an amount of $10,518,467.76, to an amount not to exceed $9,193,727.77.
 
Funds will be restored to Accounts 401-50000-645600 and 645700.
 
Requested, Kenneth A. Kits, Director of Engineering, JB:JJ
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 May 3, 2012
