CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - Forestry Firetruck

This change order notice from the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office General Services extends the contract end date by one year to June 30, 2022 for Contract #B-21532 for Forestry Fire Trucks. The original contract was executed in November 2020, but the vendor has experienced manufacturing delays in obtaining the necessary chassis from the manufacturer due to global supply chain issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This change order is necessary to provide the vendor, who is the incumbent contractor, with sufficient time to complete the fire truck builds once the required chassis are received. The contract pricing and other terms remain unchanged, with the only modification being the extended end date.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this change order. As the incumbent contractor, the existing vendor is unable to fulfill the contract requirements within the original timeline due to unforeseeable manufacturing delays beyond their control. The original contract value is not provided, but the change order is intended to allow the vendor to complete the deliverables without defaulting on the agreement.
