CHANGE ORDER NOTICE-Giant City SP- Pole Barn Construction

The state of Illinois, specifically through the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) in Jackson County, is processing a contract change order for a pole barn construction project at Giant City State Park. The original contract (OLM46172) involves the construction of a pre-engineered pole building, with the primary modification extending the contract completion date from June 30, 2025, to July 31, 2025. The delay stems from material procurement issues, specifically a truss manufacturer's setback that prevented timely project completion. The contract change order has been formally documented through a Contract Change Order Determination Form, which was approved on June 4, 2025, by Jim Bowling, a Regional Engineer at IDNR. The change order was evaluated and approved based on three critical criteria: the delay was not reasonably foreseeable at contract signing, the modification is germane to the original contract, and the change serves the best interest of state government and complies with legal requirements.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The contract appears to be a standard state infrastructure project without mention of disadvantaged enterprise requirements or specific vendor qualifications. While the current contractor is not named, the project involves constructing a pole barn with a critical truss system component. The change order does not indicate any modifications to the contract's financial terms, suggesting the original budget remains unchanged. The total project scope appears to be limited to the pole barn construction at Giant City State Park, with the primary modification being a 31-day contract extension to accommodate material delivery delays. The procurement is being managed directly by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, with the project located in Jackson County, following standard state contracting procedures and documentation requirements under 720 ILCS 5/33E-9.
