V.18.1

Procurement Justification

Text1: Public Act 97-0576 Collateral Recovery Act (CRA) mandates regulation of for-hire Repossession Agencies operating within the State of Illinois to the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC). The Act requires the licensed repossession agency to purchase a recovery ticket form the Commission for each Repossessed vehicle or collateral.

The ICC currently sells in excess of 85,000 tickets per year. This contract will allow the agency to maintain an adequate supply of these tickets available for purchase. If the agency were to run out of tickets it would cause the licenses repossession agents to halt their business.
