About this file

This document is a Procurement Justification Form from the Illinois Capital Development Board for the acquisition of a large format printer/plotter device. The objective is to replace an existing printer/plotter that is beyond its useful life and for which replacement parts are no longer available. The new device will be used to plot full-size drawings as well as to scan existing paper drawings into electronic format, which is important for preserving fragile, historical documents. Currently, the agency must outsource the reproduction of large drawings at significant cost, and lacks the ability to print and review projects in-house prior to outsourcing, impeding the design process.

This procurement is for a replacement of an existing device and is not subject to any small business set-aside programs. If the procurement is not approved, the agency will continue to face difficulties in its design process and incur ongoing outsourcing expenses. There are no special conditions applicable to this procurement, and it is not part of an emergency or State Use program.

Procurement Justification

Text1: The objective is to procure a large printer/plotter for the Capital Development Board to replace an existing printer/plotter that is beyond it's useful life and for which we are no longer able to get replacement parts. The printer is used to plot full size drawings and also to scan existing drawings. Sometimes these drawings are only available as paper copies. Having the ability to scan them provides a redundant copy in an electronic format. Many of the existing plan sets are quite old and fragile so having an electronic copy is very important.
Text2: Currently we are unable to print documents consistently in-house and have to outsource the reproduction of large drawings and other documents to a private vendor. This can be quite expensive when several sets of drawings are needed. In addition we have no way to print in-house projects and review them prior to outsourcing them which impedes our design process.
Text3: This is a replacement. The business need is currently being met through outsourcing. This procurement is not subject to the Small Business Set-Aside Program.
Text4: The agency will continue to outsource and have difficulties during our design process.
Dropdown5: [None]
