CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - DNR Mason State Nursery- Greenhouse Updates

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is issuing a change order notice to extend contract #ENG419092 with United Greenhouse Systems, Inc. for the DNR Mason State Nursery - Greenhouse Updates project. The original contract end date of June 30, 2020 is being extended by 45 days due to productivity slowdowns and scheduling conflicts caused by disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic. The vendor expects to be on-site in June but is uncertain if the project will be completed by the original end date. This change order is considered germane to the original contract as signed, and the circumstances necessitating the change were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed.

This change order notice is not a new solicitation for services. The contract extension is for $10,000 or more and 30 days or more, as required by Illinois law. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and no information is provided on incumbent vendors or current contractors, or existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The possible award value for the extension is not specified.
