Change Order: 4 month contract extension - Lowden Statute Restoration

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has issued a change order to extend Contract #ENG13010A with Simpson, Gumpertz and Heger for the Lowden State Park Eternal Indian Restoration project. The contract is being extended from the original termination date of October 31, 2019 to February 29, 2020 to allow for the completion of the restoration work on the Lowden Statute and the final submittal of reporting documents. The restoration work is scheduled to be completed in November 2019, but the final reporting documents will not be ready until February 2020. This change order is being authorized under 30 ILCS 500/1-15.12 and 720 ILCS 5/33E due to unforeseen circumstances at the time the original contract was executed.

This change order is not a new solicitation for services. The existing contract between the vendor, IDNR, and the Illinois Conservation Foundation will remain in place, with the revised termination date of February 29, 2020. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is not a new procurement. The current contractor, Simpson, Gumpertz and Heger, will continue to provide the required services. The total value of the contract, including this change order, is not specified in the provided information.
