Body
Dear Sir:
On February 15, 2007, the Board of Commissioners passed an order authorizing the Purchasing Agent to award Contract 07-665-12, Landscape Maintenance at Various Locations in the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant Area, to J & L Services, in an amount not to exceed $700,000.00. The contract expires on December 31, 2008.
This contract has no prior change orders.
Due to less than anticipated use of the services in 2007, funds in the amount of $62,729.05 were not utilized.
The change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change order is due to circumstances not reasonably foreseeable, and is in the best interest of the District.
It is hereby requested that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Purchasing Agent to execute a change order to decrease the purchase order in an amount of $62,729.05 (9% of the current contract value), from an amount of $700,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $637,270.95.
Funds will be restored in Account 101-69000-612420.
Requested, Osoth Jamjun, Chief of Maintenance and Operations, OJ:MPS:SO’C:MAG:IJA
