The State of Illinois, Department of Physical Services (PHYSSERV350), awarded an Open Market Small Purchase contract to P.H. Broughton & Sons Inc., located in Springfield, Illinois, on July 30, 2026. The contract, valued at $8,218.00, addresses urgent repairs at the Capitol complex parking lot in Springfield. The contract period runs from the award date through September 30, 2026. The prime contractor will deliver 50 tons of asphalt C surface and 20 tons of premix cold patch asphalt, both priced at $117.40 per ton, for a total material cost of $8,218.00.

The procurement was classified as a sole source small purchase due to immediate operational need and the unique capabilities required. P.H. Broughton & Sons was selected as the sole qualified vendor because it operates the only local batch asphalt plant capable of producing hot-mix asphalt on demand with materials readily available proximate to the project site. This capability was deemed necessary to address parking lot deterioration at the Capitol complex without incurring the disruptions that would result from utilizing alternative suppliers operating drum mix plants with silo storage systems. The contract documentation was submitted by the Laborers Division of the Secretary of State's office on July 29, 2026, reflecting the time-sensitive nature of the repair project.
