Contract #21-0106 Retail Payment Solution

Bid Buy Reference # 21-557THA-BUSSY-B-23561 Proposal Opening Date: As Published in BidBuy

Please be advised of the following changes to the above named solicitation:

I. Revised Sections:

The VOSB goal has been stricken in its entirety.

The BEP goal has been changed to 3% and the below sections regarding BEP have been revised hereto as follows:

Contract Goal to be Achieved by the Vendor: This solicitation includes a specific BEP utilization goal of 3% based on the availability of BEP certified vendors who perform or provide the anticipated services and/or supplies required by this solicitation. The BEP goal for this solicitation will be based on the “non-passthrough costs” (Portion of costs for which vendor has no control and would not be available to apply diversity goals set under this contract, e.g. Retail location pass-thru, Payment network fees). In addition to the other award criteria established for this solicitation, the Illinois Tollway will award this contract to a Vendor that meets these goals or makes good faith efforts to meet these goals. These goals are also applicable to change orders and allowances within the scope of work provided by the BEP certified vendor. The offerors must submit a Utilization Plan indicating that the goal will be met by self-performance.

A.24. BUSINESS ENTERPRISE FOR MINORITIES, WOMEN, AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES ACT PARTICIPATION AND UTILIZATION PLAN: The Bulletin posting indicates whether this solicitation contains a goal to include businesses owned and controlled by minorities, women, and persons with disabilities. If this solicitation is for non-construction supplies or services and contains a goal, then failure to submit a Utilization Plan shall render the Offer non-responsive. 30 ILCS 575/4(f).

All questions regarding the subcontracting goal must be directed to the Agency Business Enterprise Program (BEP) Liaison prior to submission of proposals.
