Emergency Purchase Details Reference #: 22-448DOIT-ADMIN-B-29978

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 has several open major projects in progress with Globetrotters Engineering Corporation (GEC) 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 an RFP that will replace this contract. As part of the QBS process, DoIT has finished negotiations with the vendor and the agency is moving forward with posting the award. Once the award is posted DoIT will move towards execution of this contract and the emergency contract will no longer be needed. It will be needed until the new contract is in place.
