Council action is requested to issue Change Order #1 to Purchase Order 24000370 to Strategic Government Resources (SGR) in the amount of $32,457.50 to cover additional invoices that have been received.  New revised amount of P.O. will be $81,957.50.

In August 2023, a purchase order was issued to Strategic Government Resources (SGR) for Interim Fire Chief services within the Fire Department. SGR's responsibility was to provide a highly experienced local government professional to serve as the Interim Fire Chief for the City. Due to the extended duration of the interim chief's tenure, we are seeking an increase to the original purchase order amount to sustain coverage for the associated service costs.

Approval of this request will authorize change orders, allowing an additional ten percent adjustment to the new total purchase order amount, contingent upon the availability of appropriations.
