CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - CWD Cold Storage and Processing

This is a Change Order Notice issued by the Chief Procurement Office for General Services for Contract No. 25-422DNR-RESCO-B-44446 with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the CWD Cold Storage and Processing project. Due to favorable environmental conditions, the addition of new shooting sites, and increased prevalence of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in northern Illinois, more deer have been harvested than originally anticipated. As a result, the contract maximum is being increased from $420,000 to $544,000 to allow for the harvesting, testing, storage, and processing of the additional deer at 2 of the 3 contracted locations. The change order is in compliance with Section 33E-9 of the Criminal Code, as the increased deer harvesting was not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed, and the change is germane to the original contract.

The change order does not introduce any new set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current contractor, RESCO, will continue to perform the work under the revised contract terms. The contract is funded by the state of Illinois, and the increased value is within the originally budgeted range for the project.
