CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - Nursery labor

This state and local contract opportunity is a change order notice issued by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the Nursery Labor contract. The change order will increase the contract value by $49,990.20 to allow the vendor to harvest additional seed, which is an element of the current contract. The additional funding for this change order is from a federal grant specifically for seed collection to support the climate change mitigation outlined in the DNR Climate Action Plan. The change order is permitted under Section 33E-9 of the Criminal Code, as the circumstances necessitating the change in performance were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed, and 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. The incumbent vendor for the Nursery Labor contract is not identified. The total value of the change order is $49,990.20, which will be added to the existing contract value. This change order does not have a separate bidding or proposal process, as it is an amendment to an existing contract.
