CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - Nursery Labor

The state of Illinois has issued a change order notice to increase the value of an existing contract with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) by $50,000. The original contract, #24-422DNR-RESCO-B-39015, was for nursery labor services to support the collection of tree seeds as part of the DNR's Climate Action Plan. This change order is being issued to provide additional funding for increased harvesting needs to support the agency's native tree seedling planting initiatives. The change order is being posted publicly in accordance with state procurement requirements for changes over $25,000 or that extend the contract term by more than 180 days.

The additional $50,000 in funding is being drawn from the DNR's existing budget and procurement authorities. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this change order, as it is an amendment to an existing contract. The incumbent vendor for the original contract is not specified. The total value of the amended contract, including the $50,000 change order, is not provided.
