Change Order Notice - Fiber Engineering

The Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) is seeking to extend an existing emergency contract with Globetrotters Engineering Corporation for Professional Fiber Engineering Services. The original contract was an Indefinite Quantity contract with an estimated value of $1,000,000. DoIT is extending the contract for a term of 90 days to allow for the completion of several ongoing projects until a competitively procured contract can be executed. The change order is required pursuant to state procurement regulations, which mandate notice of renegotiated contracts and change orders that increase the cost of a contract by more than $10,000 or extend the completion time by 30 days or more. The justification provided is that the circumstances necessitating the change were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the original contract was signed, and that the change is germane to the original contract.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this change order. Globetrotters Engineering Corporation is the incumbent vendor. The original contract was an Indefinite Quantity contract with an estimated value of $1,000,000, and the change order will extend the contract for an additional 90 days.
