Change Order Notice - 3 Month Contract Extension Carlyle Lake Levee Repair

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is issuing a change order notice to extend an existing contract with Lake Contracting, Inc. for the rehabilitation of portions of earthen levees at Carlyle Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area. The original contract, 19ORC4324, is being extended from June 30, 2019 to September 30, 2019 due to above average precipitation and severe flooding at the project site that have prevented the completion of the project within the initial timeframe. The change order is necessary as defined in Illinois procurement law, 30 ILCS 500/1-15.12 and 720 ILCS 5/33E. The three-month extension will allow sufficient time for Lake Contracting, Inc. to complete the required levee repairs.

The contract was originally awarded to Lake Contracting, Inc. through a competitive procurement process. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this change order. The current contract value is not specified, but the change order is for a three-month extension to the existing agreement. No other incumbent vendors or contractors are mentioned, and the procurement does not require the integration of any existing infrastructure or technology.
