COMMITTEE ON PURCHASING
Mr. Richard Lanyon, General Superintendent
Title
Authority to decrease purchase order and amend agreement for Contract 05-RFP-02 Vehicle Location System, with Networkcar, Inc., in an amount of $65,000.00, from an amount of $479,491.84, to an amount not to exceed $414,491.84, Account 101-15000-612860, Purchase Order 3033408
Body
Dear Sir:
On April 7, 2005, the Board of Commissioners passed an order authorizing the Purchasing Agent to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement for Contract 05-RFP-02 Vehicle Location System with Networkcar Inc., in an amount not to exceed $519,221.35. The contract expired on April 30, 2008.
Previous change orders have resulted in the current purchase order value of $479,491.84.
A decrease in the contract value is now being requested to more accurately reflect estimated expenditures.
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 $65,000.00 (13.6% of the current contract value) from an amount of $479.491.84 to an amount not to exceed $414,491.84.
Funds will be restored in Account 101-15000-612860.
Requested, Edmund J. Cook, Deputy Chief Engineer, EJC:EMcE:BKS:MG:CW:GT
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Purchasing Agent
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Purchasing
ORDERED passed by affirmative roll call vote of a majority of the Commissioners present this June 5, 2008. Approved, President Terrence J. O’Brien
