CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - D9 Above Ground Diesel Storage Tank

This procurement is a change order issued by the Chief Procurement Office for General Services for the state of Illinois, extending the end date of Contract 22-B-27535 with Lake Contracting. The original contract, which was competitively bid under Bid Number B-27535 and Purchase Order Number P-34324, was for the provision of an above ground diesel storage tank. The change order is being issued due to the vendor's difficulty in sourcing the required tank, which has been ordered and is scheduled for delivery in early September. The change order extends the contract end date from June 30, 2022 to September 30, 2022 in order to accommodate the delayed delivery. The change order is being issued in accordance with Illinois Procurement Code requirements for posting notices of contract renegotiations and change orders that increase the time of completion.

The original contract was a competitively bid procurement, and this change order does not appear to include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is Lake Contracting, and there is no indication of any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The original contract value is not provided, but the change order indicates that the circumstances necessitating the extension were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the original contract was signed, and that the change is germane to the original contract.
