Body
Dear Sir:
On May 5, 2016, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 15-913-21, Rehabilitate the Digester Gas Turbine at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, to Electrical Systems, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $2,038,000.00. The contract will expire on June 30, 2018.
This Contract has no prior change orders.
An increase to the Contract value is requested to obtain further services and testing from the turbine controls manufacturer (Dresser-Rand) and the turbine machine representative (GKN Aerospace) to complete the anticipated startup of the turbine. The Contractor fulfilled the specified startup services during the week of February 26, 2018. Additional services are required due to unanticipated delays beyond the Contractor’s control.
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 15-913-21, in an amount of $65,638.93 (approximately 3.2% of the current contract value), from an amount of $2,038,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $2,103,638.93.
Funds for the current year are available in Account 201-50000-645650.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, BAP:SO'C:MAG:JR:JMC
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
