Change Order
Published Thursday May 6, 2021
Vendor: Fineline Printing Group
Change Order Amount: $100,001
The dollar amount needs increased due to increased campus usage as more and more departments purchased directly from the master contract. EIU has also received GEER grant funding. Some of the GEER grant funding will be used for printing. Spend has also increased due to COVID-19 as there have been a few purchases for signage that would not occur in a normal year. The Change Order Justification dated January 7, 2021 could only increase the contract to a Not to Exceed amount of $249,999, as $250,000 requires approval by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees approved increasing this contract to an amount not exceeding $350,000. Another reason the cost of this contract has increased is because the pricing did not initially include postage costs increasing due to the the increase of employees and student's working remotely during the COVID Pandemic. The cost of postage amounts to just over $80,000 of the current renewal's spend.

The buyer for this procurement is now Justin Richardson , (217) 581-7745.
The Chief Procurement Officer for this procurement is now John Donato.
The State Purchasing Officer for this procurement is now Constance Ratliff.
