About this file
This is an Emergency Purchase Statement filed by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Office of Intermodal Project Implementation, with the Chief Procurement Office for General Services. The emergency procurement is for professional services related to paratransit vehicle technical oversight. IDOT recently placed an order for 508 paratransit vehicles on behalf of the state's public transportation providers and non-profit agencies serving seniors and individuals with disabilities. The services to be provided by the selected vendor include in-plant inspections throughout the manufacturing process, preparation of Pre-Award and Post-Delivery Buy America Audits, and oversight to ensure all federal rolling stock requirements are met prior to vehicle delivery. The expected contract start date is January 8, 2025, with an expected end date of April 7, 2025, representing a three-month term with no renewal options indicated.
The estimated contract expenditure is $202,362.28, classified as estimated funding to be finalized at a later date. The procurement will be funded entirely through federal funds, consistent with the Federal Highway Administration-funded nature of the rolling stock procurement. AmeriTran Service Corporation, dba Transit Resource Center, located in Winter Springs, Florida, was selected as the vendor based on its ten-year history providing services to IDOT and its familiarity with the vehicles, manufacturers, and stringent federal rolling stock procurement requirements. No existing state contract was deemed sufficient to meet the emergency need. Best efforts were made to include Business Enterprise Program-certified contractors, though the procurement notes that BEP goals are not permissible on FHWA-funded projects due to Disadvantaged Business Enterprise regulations established by the United States Department of Transportation. The emergency was classified under the category of preventing or minimizing serious disruption in critical state services.
