The costs for contracts related to biosolids trucking have increased substantially this year due to a new Illinois Department of Labor requirement for the removal, hauling, and transportation of biosolids, volatility of fuel markets, and overall inflation. The contractor has agreed to hold their original unit costs for the remainder of the trucking season. This will provide the District continuity of service to complete the season. This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change is germane to the original contract.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D goals for this contract are 20% Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBE), 13% Women-owned Business Enterprises (WBE), and 3% Veteran-owned Business Enterprises (VBE).
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 24-691-11, in an amount of $1,083,500.00 (approximately 44.0% of the current contract value), from an amount of $2,463,500.00, to an amount not to exceed $3,547,000.00.
