Describe the scope of the original emergency (supply, service, etc.):

The Illinois Office of Communication and Information (IOCI) is statutorily mandated by 20 ILCS 405/405-270 to provide for and coordinate broadcast communications services for State agencies and, when requested and when in the best interests of the State, for units of federal or local governments and public and not-for-profit institutions of primary, secondary, and higher education.

IOCI originally sought to procure the services of a vendor to replace the satellite controller which instructs the satellite antenna motor to move the dish that is located on the roof of the 120 W. Jefferson St., Springfield, IL 62702. The current controller is 30 years old and had stopped working, although the dish was still able to send and receive transmissions. IOCI and CMS Bureau of Strategic Sourcing (BOSS) attempted to procure the controller equipment via multiple requests for quotes (small purchases) with no success. On or about September 22, 2021, the dish was struck by lightning and is now unable to receive on the horizontal downlink. Because it is not possible to move the dish, it is now not possible to receive any signals.

In order to meet statutory requirements, it was determined that replacement of the entire system was in the best interest of the State.

Based on the lack of success in replacing the satellite controller via a competitive process, IOCI contacted the vendor who installed the current satellite transmission equipment in the early 1990s to request a quote. The vendor was able to access their records and has a good understanding of the location of the equipment and what is needed to meet the State's needs and the vendor was willing to provide a quote for the new equipment.

Between October 1, 2021 and April 5, 2022, CMS engaged in negotiations with the satellite vendor and worked with the vendor, who is located in Texas, to complete paperwork required to contract in Illinois.

The BEP goals were calculated at 0% as there are no BEP vendors certified under the NIGP Codes below (CMS confirmed 07/07/2022 that no additional BEP certified vendors were added under the NIGP Codes below):

726-54 Ground Stations, Satellite: Transmit/Receive and Receive Only (Including Antennas) 840-20 Broadcast Equipment, Television 840-45 Satellite Receiver Dish (Video)

The engineering work related to the load frame was contracted with a BEP vendor and is underway. After the engineer completes its

Division: Illinois Office of Communication and Information (IOCI) Agency/University: Central Management Services work, CMS will request quotes from BEP construction vendors for any construction related to the load frame that is needed based on the work of the engineer. As this is a modification of IOCI's FCC station license, authorization from the FCC is a requirement. The FCC request went for public notice June 29, 2022 and is published for 30 days to allow for public comment prior to FCC approval. Once the FCC grants approval, which won't be until after July 29, 2022, the construction work on the load frame can begin.

Describe the scope of the extension (supply, service, etc.). Show justification for extending the original emergency contract, and explain why the extension need cannot be met through a competitive process:

This is a time-only extension to allow for completion of the FCC requirements, removal of the old antenna, construction on the load frame, and transportation of the antenna to Illinois, and installation and testing of the new antenna.

Was authorization to proceed verbally given? No Yes NA

Term of emergency procurement shall not exceed 90 days. Contract may be extended beyond 90 days if CPO determines additional time is necessary; however, prior to execution of extension, CPO must hold a public hearing and provide written determination.

*Estimated end date and cost will be reported later.
