Body
Dear Sir:
On August 9, 2007, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Purchasing Agent to award Contract 07-025-11 Furnish and Deliver Pipe, Fittings and Valves to Various Locations for a One (1) Year Period for Groups A, B & C, to Johnson Pipe and Supply Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $168,561.70.
As of June 3, 2008 and July 15, 2008, change orders of $5,000.00 and $4,999.00 respectively, were approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in an increase in an amount of $9,999.00, from the original amount awarded of $168,561.70. The current contract value is $178,560.70. The prior approved change orders reflect a 5.9 percent increase to the original contract amount.
The reason for the change is an increased demand of product being used.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change is due to circumstances not reasonably foreseeable, and is in the best interest of the District.
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Purchasing Agent to execute a change order to increase Contract 07-025-11 in an amount of $15,000.00 (8.4 percent of the current contract value) from an amount of $178,560.70 to an amount not to exceed $193.560.70.
Funds are available in Account 101-20000-623090.
