Reason for selection of this particular vendor:

The Agency has several open major projects in progress with Globetrotters Engineering Services which is critical in providing State services to the State of Illinois citizens and fulfilling the Agency mission. This vendor has done all of the engineering work in these projects which were started on the original contract and work has continued on the existing emergency contract. Its is not technically or financially feasible to switch to another vendor for engineering on these projects as a new vendor would have to start over on much of the work. There is also a known large project in Western Illinois know as the "Prophetstown Project" which will need to be started in the coming months. Additionally, there will likely be IDOT roadwork projects or repairs that come up unexpectedly which will require DoIT to move our fiber with little notice. Engineering is needed for this.

DoIT published and evaluated and RFP to replace this contract. A vendor has been selected and the agency is currently in negotiations with the selected vendor as part of the QBS process. The emergency will allow current project to continue as well as allow the agency time to finish price negotiations and overall contract as this process cannot be completed by the end of the existing emergency contract.
