| 0 | 3. | Housing Authority Resolution | Resolution approving a change order to purchase order B122182 with A&A Plumbing of Milwaukee, LLC (Milwaukee, WI) for the annual plumbing maintenance and emergency after-hour services at various HACM housing developments
The original contract amount for $250,000.00 was based on the not-to-exceed estimated award amounts from the past two years and did not require Board approval. A shortage of staff has led to more calls for annual plumbing maintenance and after-hour service calls resulting in a cumulative change order amount of $250,000, making the new purchase order amount not-to-exceed $500,000. This now exceeds the $250,000.00 threshold requiring Board approval. | ADOPTED | Pass | 4:0 |
