Lab-06-0103 asphalt sealer

The State of Illinois, Department of Physical Services, awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract to Ron Furman's Commercial Sweeping & Paving Inc. on July 2, 2026, with a completion date of July 30, 2026. The contract value is $3,375.00 and covers the procurement of 750 gallons of bulk asphalt sealer required for sealing asphalt parking lots R and S. Delivery is specified to the Department of Physical Services' Laborers Division in Springfield, Illinois, under the direction of requestor Dennis Watkins.

The purchase was designated as a sole source procurement under immediate need conditions, justified by the vendor's ability to store bulk asphalt sealer quantities and provide flexible delivery to accommodate the State's variable operational requirements ranging from one to more than 100 gallons daily. This arrangement eliminates the need for the agency to maintain large on-site storage capacity. The requisition was placed on June 23, 2026, to address time-sensitive asphalt maintenance and prevent additional damage and material costs associated with unsealed parking lot surfaces. The vendor's selection reflects an established relationship with the State, with prior purchase history dating to fiscal year 2026 for similar sealing services at various state facilities.
