Change Order
Published Monday March 24, 2014
Vendor: Nalco Company
Change Order Amount: $70,000

This change order revises the original estimated contract amount for the initial term of the contract July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015 from $60,000 to $130,000. The increase is a result of using more chemicals than originally estimated during the initial term of the contract. The Renewable Energy Center (REC) has experienced operational issues with the new tunnel and boilers. These operational issues have resulted in not returning high pressure condensate and steam venting from the Renewable Energy Center (REC) as anticipated thus resulting in additional chemical loss and increased chemical usage. Additionally, the REC is not running its Reverse Osmosis skid due to the high cost of operating the skid which also contributes to the increased chemical usage. REC management and staff are currently reviewing these operational issues to determine the cause and a possible solution. This is an increase in quantity only, the Vendors unit cost for chemical treatment remains unchanged. The University has determined that the current vendor is best suited to meet the immediate needs of the University�s REC.
