Summary
The Public Works Committee on Feb. 17 approved a change order to extend BP & T Construction's painting contract for the North Chicago water treatment plant into fiscal year 2025, not to exceed $100,000; staff said minority workers were included in last year's work and will be included again.
The North Chicago Public Works Committee on Feb. 17 approved a change order to extend BP & T Construction’s 2024 water treatment plant painting contract into fiscal year 2025, at a not-to-exceed price of $100,000.
A city staff member explained the original contract included a one-year term with an optional one-year extension and that the contractor agreed to hold unit prices for the second year. The staff member said BP & T has already performed work under the contract and the city is prepared to move forward with the extension.
Alderman Carmen Evans asked whether minority workers were on the project. Staff responded that minority workers were included in last year’s work and that the city will keep the same approach for the extension. Committee members signaled support and the motion to extend the contract was carried by the committee.
The committee did not record additional conditions in the meeting minutes; staff said they will continue to require documentation of subcontractor outreach and compliance with contract requirements.
