About this file
This is a Commitment to Diversity Vendor Answer Sheet for the Traffic Incident Management System (TIMS) contract solicitation issued by the Illinois Tollway. The document serves as an evaluation tool for assessing vendors' commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in response to the RFP-Traffic Incident Management System Contract. The sheet requires vendors to demonstrate compliance with Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goals for contracting with women, minority, and disability-owned businesses (WMDB), or to submit a Good Faith Efforts Waiver if goals cannot be met. All responses must be submitted electronically by the specified deadline, with questions directed to the Information Contact no later than 1:00 pm on July 16, 2026.
The vendor answer sheet evaluates six key diversity factors: BEP goal compliance verification, subcontracting history with WMDB firms outside the current solicitation, diversity and inclusion (DEI) spending as a percentage of gross revenue, hours dedicated to DEI promotion activities, existence of written DEI policies, and diversity representation across governing boards, management, and overall staff. Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation for each factor, including contracts, receipts, staffing lists, and policy screenshots, uploaded as a separate "Commitment to Diversity" attachment alongside technical and pricing bids. Points are awarded only when verification documents are attached; failure to provide required documentation results in no points being awarded for that category.
