Body
Dear Sir:
On June 2, 2011, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Dresser Industries, Inc., et al, Dresser-Rand Company, for services and parts for the Dresser-Clark centrifugal compressor system (blowers) for the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $335,000.00. The contract expires on December 31, 2011.
This purchase order has no prior change orders.
An increase in the purchase order value is being requested to procure additional overhaul services needed to repair Process Blower No. 4. A time extension is required until December 31, 2012, to complete the repairs on the blower.
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 the purchase order and amend the agreement in an amount of $94,000.00 (approximately 28% of the current contract value), from an amount of $335,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $429,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 101-69000-612650.
Requested, Manju P. Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations, SES:SO’C:MAG:LSC:TRS
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
