CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - CO1 to D8 Submersible Pump Maintenance and Repair

The State of Illinois has posted a change order notice for an existing contract with Layne Christensen Company for D8 Submersible Pump Maintenance and Repair services. The original contract, B-20133/P-24992, was inadvertently bid and awarded as a total amount for the initial term, when the estimates should have been reflected as a single year expenditure. This change order increases the not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of the contract by $14,000 for a new NTE total of $159,557.92 to allow services to continue while the agency puts a new solicitation out for bid to reflect the correct service usage. The change order is requested in accordance with the Illinois Procurement Code and Administrative Rules, which require notice of renegotiated contracts and change orders that increase the cost of a contract by more than $10,000 or the time of completion by a total of 30 days or more to be posted for 14 days.

This change order does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is Layne Christensen Company, and the existing contract requires integration with the State's infrastructure and technology. The contract value has been increased by $14,000 for a new NTE total of $159,557.92.
