The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has issued a change order notice for Contract P-2919, which is for the Vermillion River Danville Dam Removal project, identified as DNR-OWR-CO#2 -FR441. The change order is required to facilitate the removal of rebar that was exposed on both river banks under the U.S ISO/Gilbert Street bridge, as well as the removal of steel debris downstream of the dam, which was posing a hazard and would have interfered with the installation of turbidity curtains. The change order amount is $15,036.92, which is a 1.02% increase to the current contract amount of $1,483,390.62. These circumstances were unforeseeable at the time and are germane to the original contract, in accordance with 720 ILCS 5/33E-9. The change order is required to address the unforeseen conditions encountered during the project execution.

The procurement is limited to the existing contractor on the original contract, and no additional set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are provided. Similarly, no information is given on any listed incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total value of the change order is $15,036.92, which increases the current contract amount to $1,483,390.62.
