CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - Peterson Johnson Murray Litigation Counsel

The state of Illinois has issued a Change Order Notice for a contract with Peterson Johnson Murray Chicago LLC to provide Litigation Counsel services to the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA). The original contract was for Litigation Counsel to advise and represent IHDA in related legal matters. This change order extends the contract term through December 31, 2022 to prevent a lapse in service while IHDA works to release a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for Litigation Counsel. The change order is being issued in accordance with Illinois procurement regulations for renegotiated contracts and change orders exceeding certain thresholds. The circumstances necessitating the change were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the original contract was executed.

The Change Order Notice does not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to the future RFP. The current contractor, Peterson Johnson Murray Chicago LLC, is the incumbent provider of Litigation Counsel services to IHDA. The notice does not specify an award value or budget range for the future Litigation Counsel contract, but the change order is considered germane to the original contract as signed.
