Change Order Notice

The state of Illinois has issued a change order notice to amend an existing contract for cable television services at a Department of Corrections facility, specifically the Lawrence Correctional Center. The change order increases the value of the original contract by $66,028.72 for a revised total of $660,484.72. This amendment adds 5 additional cable channels, including Sony Movies, Independent Film Network, MGM Movies, Comedy, and HGTV, to the monthly service, which will increase the initial monthly costs by approximately $995. The original contract was procured through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process. The amendment does not change the completion date or the method of determining compensation, and the subcontractors remain the same.

The change order is pursuant to Section 33E-9 of the Illinois Criminal Code, indicating the circumstances necessitating the change were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the original contract was signed. The procurement is limited to the jurisdiction of Lake County, Illinois. The change order does not mention any set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements, or other salient commercial information.
