Body
Dear Sir:
On May 7, 2009, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue purchase order and enter into an agreement with Schuyler, Roche & Crisham, P.C. for legal services in the matter of Kayomarsh Mehta and Nergish Mehta, Guardians, on behalf of The Estate of Rashni Mehta, a Disabled Person v. MWRDGC and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Case No. 08 CH 35380, in an amount not to exceed $200,000.00. The contract work has been completed.
This purchase order has no prior change orders.
The purpose of this change order is to reduce and close the 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 the purchase order and amend the agreement in an amount of $75,938.60 (37.97 percent of the current contract value) from an amount of $200,000.00 to an amount not to exceed $124,061.40.
Funds will be restored to Account 101-30000-601170.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
