Change Order: 4 month contract extension - Lowden Statute Restoration A/E

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is issuing a change order to extend an existing contract, ENG13010A, with the architectural and engineering firm Simpson, Gumpertz and Heger. The contract is for the Lowden State Park Eternal Indian Restoration project, which involves the completion and acceptance of architectural and engineering deliverables. The contract termination date is being extended from February 29, 2020 to June 30, 2020 to allow for the submission of the final report documents to IDNR for review and approval by May 2020. The change order is being issued due to unforeseen circumstances that occurred during the original contract period. This is not a new solicitation for services, but rather an extension of the existing contract to ensure the successful completion of the project.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this change order. The incumbent vendor, Simpson, Gumpertz and Heger, is the only contractor involved in this contract extension. The project involves the restoration work at the Lowden State Park, which may require integration with existing infrastructure or technology. The original contract value is not specified, and the change order does not indicate any additional award amounts or budget ranges.
