About this file

This document is an email chain dated April 21, 2026, between Jawni Watters (Business Administrator at Illinois River Correctional Center) and Ryan Tomlinson (Security Automation Systems, Inc.) regarding an informal quote request. The State of Illinois Department of Corrections (DOC) issued the requisition through the BidBuy procurement system to Security Automation Systems, Inc., located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The requisition number is 26-426DOC-ILRIV-R-316743, and the requesting department is Illinois River Correctional Center (ILRIVERCC426).

The scope of work involves re-programming the housing unit control panel system at Illinois River Correctional Center, ensuring software is up-to-date, and restoring malfunctioning cell doors to working order. Specifically, four cell doors (2D-63, 3B-78, 3C-63, and 5B-64) are not unlocking via cell push button, while door 1C-37 unlocks correctly. Testing by the facility's Chief Engineer indicates the issue is in the programmable logic controller (PLC) signal transmission to the control board rather than wiring problems. No quote price was provided in this communication, as Security Automation Systems indicated they lacked sufficient detail to provide a cost estimate. The vendor requested additional technical information from the facility's Chief Engineer to develop an appropriate quote for the software re-programming work.

Programming - JSW Date: Tuesday, April 21, 2026 2:21:00 PM

Below is the information provided by our Chief Engineer.

All doors were tested by switching the wiring with working cell to nonworking cell and the problem moved to the door that was working correctly. I believe that the PLC is not getting or sending out the correct signal to the board.

1C-37 Door will unlock by cell push button at all times 2D-63 Door will not unlock on by cell push button 3B-78 Door will not unlock on by cell push button 3C-63 Door will not unlock on by cell push button 5B-64 Door will not unlock by cell push button

Jawni, Good afternoon. I just got this notification. Was this work previously quoted by us? I don’t have a record of us providing a scope or a quote for this work.

The scope says to re-program the control panel system. Ensure software is up-to-date and cells malfunctioning are returned to working order.

Do you have any additional information about this that you can provide?
