Body
Dear Sir:
On May 7, 2020, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Tetra Tech, Inc., for Contract 19-RFP-26, Professional Environmental Engineering Services for Real Estate, in an amount not to exceed $450,000.00. The contract expires December 31, 2022.
There have been no prior change orders for this Contract.
This increase is to provide additional funds for professional environmental engineering services for the Addison Creek Reservoir project. The services will include the oversight of soil excavation and soil stockpiling, the sampling of stockpiled soils for laboratory analyses, and the classification of the soils for proper offsite disposal.
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 the purchase order and amend the agreement for Contract 19-RFP-26 in amount of $224,000.00 (49.8% of the current contract value), from an amount of $450,000.00, to an amount not to exceed $674,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 501-50000-612450.
