Body
Dear Sir:
On December 18, 1997, the Board of Commissioners passed an order authorizing the Purchasing Agent to issue purchase order and enter into an agreement with Consoer Townsend Envirodyne Engineers, Inc., for engineering services in an amount not to exceed $2,312,704.00.
The Board of Commissioners approved the following increases: $151,038.00 on April 2, 1998; $120,311.00 on June 18, 1998; and $286,246.86 on August 5, 1999, resulting in the total increase in the value of the Purchase Order to a current amount of $2,870,299.86.
To date, the total expenditures in this Purchase Order amount to $2,846,788.85 and no further services are expected to be required.
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 and amend the agreement in an amount of $23,511.01 (0.82% of the current contract value) from an amount of $2,870,299.86 to an amount not to exceed $2,846,788.85.
Funds will be restored in Accounts 201-50000-601420 and 401-50000-601420.
