Change Order- 5 month contract extension 30" mobile pump

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is issuing a change order to extend a contract (ENG419029B) with Linden & Company for the purchase and delivery of a 30" mobile pump for use at the Mississippi River State Fish and Wildlife Area. The change order extends the contract termination date to May 31, 2020 due to unforeseen conditions that have delayed the manufacture of the pump, including Hurricane Dorian forcing the factory to close, the need to redesign the units to meet current diesel emission standards, and fabrication delays due to the company's press brake being out of service. Extending the contract term by five months will allow sufficient time for the pump to be manufactured, delivered, and tested on site during the Spring of 2020. The change order is required under Illinois state law, and the circumstances were unforeseeable at the time the original contract was executed. The change order is germane to the original contract, and the extension is necessary to allow for the successful completion of the project.

There is no information provided on any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent vendor is Linden & Company, and the original contract value is not specified. The change order extends the contract term only, and does not indicate any change to the original contract value.
