The court’s Child Protection Mediation Program was initiated in February 2001 to enhance the court’s ability to make better informed decisions for minors about issues such as safety, visitation, family reunification and permanency. The program model provides for participation by attorneys, case managers, foster parents, family members and other individuals involved with the family.

Transmitted herewith for your approval is Change Order No. 3, payable to G.F. Structures Corporation, for the Rockwell Warehouse Phase II Interior Project at the Rockwell Warehouse. This change order is for work necessary to complete the project. It is respectfully requested that this honorable body approve this request.
Reason: This change order will relocate the switchboard equipment from the basement to the 1st floor, which is necessary to avoid excessive Commonwealth Edison construction costs and increased monthly service charges by ComEd.

This new relocation will allow us to complete construction without the need to coordinate and schedule work with Com Ed and will not affect current monthly service fees. This also provides for a 105 day contract extension.
