About this file

This document is a Conflict of Interest Review and Determination Form related to a contract renewal for the Illinois Department of Agriculture. The contract is for audio technical services, including sound for free entertainment stages and PA systems for the 2018-2019 Illinois State Fairs. The contract is a 2-year renewal term from 7/1/2018 to 6/30/2020, with no further renewal options available. The original procurement method was an Invitation for Bid (IFB).

The form indicates there is a potential conflict of interest, as the subcontractor's president, Lester Harvill, is a former state employee. However, it was determined that Harvill was not in a position to influence the award of the contract. The funding source is a mix of federal and state appropriated funds. The contract value is $139,600.
