Body
Dear Sir:
On September 4, 2014, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 14-806-21, Furnish, Deliver and Install Tank Drives at the Lemont Water Reclamation Plant, to Independent Mechanical Industries, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $975,720.00. The contract will expire on September 19, 2017.
As of August 1, 2017, the attached list of change orders has been approved. The effect of these change orders resulted in a decrease in an amount of $507.08 from the original amount awarded of $975,720.00. The current contract value is $975,212.92. The prior approved change orders reflect a 0.05% decrease to the original contract value.
The increase is required to replace the final tank number 2 launderer effluent weir, as well as install a remote alarm indication for the new clarifier tank drives at the Lemont Water Reclamation Plant.
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 Contract 14-806-21 in an amount of $156,340.00 (approximately 16% of the current contract value) from an amount of $975,212.92 to an amount not to exceed $1,131,552.92.
Funds are available in Account 201-50000-645650.
