SMALL PURCHASE WITH EMERGENCY CONDITIONS-JOHNSON-SAUK TRAIL-Towing of skid steer

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR), specifically the Office of Land Management (LNDMGT422), awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract to Hodge's 66 Inc. Towing and Repairs on August 11, 2025, for emergency towing services at the Johnson Sauk Trail site. The contract, valued at $3,495.00, is set to be completed by September 30, 2025, and involves the transportation of a skid steer to prevent potential further damage to state property.

The contract details indicate an urgent procurement need for equipment relocation, with the prime contractor providing specialized towing services to mitigate potential state asset damage. The brief contract period and targeted scope suggest this is a tactical, time-sensitive intervention to address an immediate logistical challenge at a DNR facility. The contract type, classified as an Open Market Small Purchase, implies a streamlined acquisition process for a specific, limited-scope service requirement.
