23PS729007 specialty consultants INC contract increase

The State of Illinois, Department of Physical Services (PHYSERV350 - Physical Services division) awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract to Test valued at $4,913.00 on May 22, 2026. The contract modification covers additional architectural and engineering services for Project 23.07C, the Chicago Porches and Ramps project located in Chicago, Illinois. The line item authorizes an increase to the existing contract to fund additional site visits required to ensure contractor completion of all obligated work and to facilitate project closeout activities.

The modification was necessitated by extra visits required by Specialty Consulting, Inc., the contracted architecture/engineering firm, to oversee the work of the construction contractor (Terrazas) and complete final project closeout procedures. The supporting documentation indicates that the cost increase was justified through a modification letter dated October 9, 2025, and approved by the Secretary of State's Office on October 7, 2025. The contract period of performance spans the same date as the award date, May 22, 2026, reflecting the modification's application to an ongoing project requiring final administrative closure and contractor oversight activities.
