About this file

This document is an Emergency Purchase Statement issued by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Office of Mines and Minerals. The department is seeking to purchase 24 BioMarine BioPak 240 Revolution 4-hour rebreathers to replace outdated self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) units at its Lively Grove and Sahara Woods Mine Rescue Stations. This equipment is critical for the safety of the state's mine rescue team members when responding to mine disasters or emergencies. The department has selected BioMarine as the sole source provider for this equipment, as the state already utilizes this brand at its other rescue stations and personnel are trained on its operation and maintenance.

The total cost of this emergency procurement is $222,505.20, to be funded through federal funds. The department conducted a Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal setting exercise, but determined a 0% BEP subcontracting goal was appropriate given the specialized nature of the equipment. The expected start date for the contract is June 1, 2023, with an estimated end date of August 28, 2023.

Emergency Purchase Details Reference #: 23-422DNR-MINES-B-37341

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:

Biomarine, Inc. is the sole source provider of the BioPak240R self contained breathing apparatus.

According to law, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Office of Mines and Minerals must maintain four mine rescue stations to serve the coal fields of the state (225 ILCS 705). Each station must be equipped with every emergency rescue device that might be needed in the event of a mine disaster or emergency.

The primary piece of equipment utilized when responded to mine disasters/emergencies is a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). This units are worn by mine rescue team members when entering bad atmospheres.

The SCBAs at the department's Lively Grove and Sahara Woods Mine Rescue Stations are over 15 years old and need to be replaced to ensure the safety of the state's mine rescue team members. Failure to do so could result in severe injury or death to those wearing the apparatus.

The department is seeking the purchase of 24 BioMarine, BioPak 240 Revolution 4-hour rebreathers to replace antiquated units at its Lively Grove and Sahara Woods Mine Rescue Stations. The State of Illinois has chosen to seek this brand due to the fact that it maintains such units at its other rescue stations (Benton and Springfield) and state personnel are trained in how to operate and maintain this particular rebreather. The BioPak 240 Revolution has fewer parts than other rebreathers, thus, allowing for quick servicing of the units.

In order to maintain consistency in the state’s mine rescue services, it is imperative that the rebreathers purchased for the Lively Grove and Sahara Woods Mine Rescue Stations be BioMarine.
