24-0236 Signed Emergency Purchase Statement Generator Equipment 25.2.pdf

This is an Emergency Purchase Statement from the Illinois Tollway's Facilities and Fleet Operations Division for equipment from ThermFlo, Inc. The purchase includes one Liebert NPower 80kW UPS unit & battery cabinet, two 225 Amp disruption panels & breakers, one 600 Amp disconnect, and associated outlets and cables. The emergency procurement is required to prevent disruption of Data Center services when the current generator is replaced on 12/17/2024. The contract period is from December 17, 2024 to January 31, 2025.

The total expenditure amount is $49,462.00 (estimated) and is funded through toll revenue rather than state-appropriated funds. The purchase was deemed necessary as an emergency to prevent disruption of critical state services affecting health, safety, and revenue collection. ThermFlo was selected as the vendor due to their existing generator rental contract with the Tollway and to ensure continuity of service, as not purchasing the equipment would require system downtime and coordination with multiple IT vendors (Dell, Presidio, Accenture) at additional cost. No existing state contract was available for these supplies and services.
