About this file
This is an Emergency Purchase Statement issued by the Illinois Department of Veteran Affairs (IDVA) for the Illinois Veterans Home Quincy, documenting an emergency procurement with Brown Electric, Inc. The project encompasses the removal and replacement of a failed transformer serving the facility, along with all necessary equipment, materials, labor, and associated electrical work required to safely install and restore full power. Additionally, a temporary generator may be mobilized and installed to support operations beyond life safety systems, including heating and cooling, to ensure resident comfort and well-being during the power outage. The project has an expected start date of April 1, 2026, and an estimated completion date of May 1, 2026.
The estimated expenditure for this emergency purchase is $150,000, designated as an estimate with actual costs and end dates to be reported later. Funding will be provided through State Appropriated Funds. Brown Electric, Inc., located in Quincy, Illinois at 1707 North 12th Street, was selected as the sole vendor due to their local presence and ability to respond immediately to the emergency situation. The agency determined that no Business Enterprise Program (BEP) vendors were available within 50 miles under NIGP code 940-55 and that the existing State master contract based in Springfield, Illinois was inadequate due to the two-hour distance and the emergency's need for immediate vendor presence. The emergency purchase was authorized by Leah Thomas, Agency Procurement Officer, on April 1, 2026, with a determination that the procurement was made with as much competition as practicable under the emergency circumstances.
