Change Order Notice - Increase to Trash Contract

The Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services is posting a change order notice for the Department of Corrections' waste hauling contract, Reference No. 24-426 DOC-WESTE-P-67830, with a response date of November 25, 2026. The change order would increase contract costs by more than $25,000 and is posted under the 14-day Bulletin/BidBuy requirement for renegotiated contracts and change orders.

The modification responds to tonnage that far exceeded the original estimate. The contract budgeted 98 tons annually, but Year 1 actual tonnage reached 751.14 tons and Year 2 actual tonnage reached 741.99 tons. Year 1 costs were $37,557 against a $4,900 budget, and Year 2 costs were $40,067.46 against a $5,292 budget. These variances have depleted available funds for Year 3 services, and the Chief Engineer anticipates further tonnage increases and higher per-ton costs at the facility in Year 3. The change order funds continued tonnage and hauling fee payments.
