Emergency Purchase Details Reference #: B-51725

Emergency Category (select the appropriate option from the drop-down menu below):

To prevent or minimize serious disruption in critical State services that affect health, safety, or collection of substantial State revenues

Reason for selection of this particular vendor:

The agency contacted many vendors who potentially could do the job, however, all of them lacked the expertise and the knowledge to complete the project, or did not want to take the risk in completing this hazardous project. Illini Environmental was the only vendor that agreed to complete the project.

Description of supplies or services to be provided:

Vendor to provide the decontamination and the repair of the two perchloric fume hoods in the Chemistry lab. The perchloric fume hoods are used by the lab to perform analysis of feed, fertilizers and limestone. Without the fume hoods, the lab is unable to perform any analysis of feed, fertilizers, and limestones. The decontamination of the percholoric fume hood can be very dangerous since there are chemical crystals present that if they are not handled properly, they can react and create a huge explosion which can cause big accidents and possible fatalities. Over the time, the residue and percholoric acid has accumulated in the hood ductwork and surface, which has increased the risk of a fire and explosion. Therefore, the hood has been taken out of the service, until the residue is decontaminated and clean, and the perchlorical hood is changed.

Without the perchloric hood, the agency has been unable to perform any work. The lab will be receiving the limestone samples for testing in the beginning of the April, therefore, the hoods need to be cleaned and changed as quick as possible. If the lab cannot test the samples because of the dysfunctional hoods, the samples would have to be sent to an outside contractor. This would be very costly for the agency.
