About this file

This document is an Emergency Purchase Statement from the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) recently placed an order for 508 paratransit vehicles on behalf of the state's public transportation providers and non-profit agencies serving seniors and individuals with disabilities. This professional services contract will provide in-plant inspections throughout the manufacturing process of these complex paratransit vehicles, preparation of Pre-Award and Post-Delivery Buy America Audits, and oversight to ensure all federal rolling stock requirements are met prior to delivery of these vehicles. The contract has an estimated start date of October 10, 2024 and an estimated end date of January 7, 2025.

The emergency procurement was made with Transit Resource Center, a vendor that has held this contract with IDOT for at least the last ten years and is familiar with the vehicles, manufacturers, and services required to meet the stringent federal requirements. The contract has an estimated value of $174,265.56 and will be funded with federal funds. The procurement process included best efforts to include contractors certified under the Business Enterprise Program, though the inclusion of such goals is not permissible on Federal Highway Administration funded projects.
