About this file

This is a CPO-signed emergency purchase extension request document from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for the Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area lift stations repair project. The document authorizes an emergency extension to an existing contract for repairs to lift stations at the facility. The extension was processed as an emergency measure rather than through standard solicitation procedures, indicating urgent operational needs at the recreation area.

The document confirms authorization of the contract extension by the Chief Procurement Officer and includes the necessary signatures and approvals for implementation. The emergency extension classification suggests the lift station repairs are critical infrastructure maintenance required to maintain facility operations and prevent service interruptions at the Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area.

Is there BEP participation on this contract? If no, explain why

After giving best efforts and diligence to BEP participation options, the Department of Natural Resources has determined that participation would not be feasible for this Emergency Extension. CEI certified firms directory shows there are no BEP vendors under the NIGP codes for sewer lift station/plumbing work within 50 miles of the job site. It is not feasible to utilize a vendor outside of that radius given the emergency nature of the work. This project meets State Emergency Criteria (Health Safety & Loss of State Service). Further, the NIGP code for plumbing is a Small Business Set-Aside Commodity Code. DNR used best efforts to find a SBSA vendor and is recommending award to an SBSA vendor. DNR has encouraged the vendor to utilize BEP vendors where possible to subcontract out any portion of the work.

1. Provide detail about the events that led the agency to conduct an emergency procurement:

Due to unforeseen bottlenecks in the control panel manufacturing industry, there are longer-than-anticipate delays to the delivery of critical panels controlling the lift station pumps. Without the control panels, the lift station pumps can not function.

Delays in control panel manufacture are are caused by component supply chain disruptions, lack of resources, and skilled labor shortages that have resulted in critical bottlenecks and ultimately 2-3 (or more) additional weeks of lead time.

3. Does this extension change the scope of work? Yes No If yes, please detail below:

The Scope of Work for the project remains consistent with the original emergency contract. However, while the project schedule has been updated to accommodate longer than anticipated lead times on control panels, no other changes have been made to the project scope.

4. Provide justification for extending the original emergency contract:

Due to unforeseen additional weeks of lead-time in receiving critical control panels, the lift station pumps are unable to operate properly. The extension is required to enable additional time for the delivery of the critical control panels and completing the installation of new lift station pumps.

5. Does this emergency contract correct or eliminate the emergency condition?

Yes No Please detail:

Requesting Agency: DNR - Natural Resources Division: ORCP

Yes, with the additional contract term extension, the delayed control panel can be delivered to the site and installed.

6. Explain why the need cannot be met through a competitive procurement process.

Due to State Emergency Criteria (Illinois Procurement Code - 30 ILCS 500/20-30), the Agency prioritized immediate mobilization of a contractor to the site in order to most swiftly resolve the health risk (sewage build-up and leaking into local groundwater - Criteria A), potential loss to the State (further damage to the aging waste systems due to stress to remaining working pumps - Criteria B), and lost of critical state services (closure of the campground and beach - Criteria C).

7. Is a competitive procurement in process to replace this emergency contract?

Yes No Status:

No. This project meets multiple State Emergency Criteria and the Agency has prioritized immediate mobilization of the selected contractor who is best-suited to resolve the emergency criteria.

8. What is the effect of a denial of this extension request?

The Vendor has already ordered the necessary equipment to complete the project as part of the original contract. If the equipment is not installed the State risks introducing a health hazards to the public as sewage can build-up and leak into local groundwater. Further, the State potentially faces financial loss having to pay for the equipment and/or further damage to existing pumps.
