Vendor Provided Pricing.docx

This vendor-provided pricing document supports the Illinois Department of Information Technology's notice of intent to award a sole-source contract to Level 3 Communications, LLC dba Lumen Technologies for the installation and provisioning of ILA (Internet Lightwave Access) huts along the I-55 corridor. The project involves infrastructure deployment at multiple locations along this major transportation corridor to expand telecommunications capacity and connectivity. The state has determined that Lumen Technologies is the sole economically feasible source capable of delivering this specialized service, and the notice of intent to award was issued with a public comment period extending through Friday, March 20, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. The hearing regarding this award will be cancelled unless an interested party submits written comments or formally requests a public hearing by the specified deadline.

The document contains vendor-provided pricing information in both textual and image format, detailing the cost structure and pricing terms proposed by Lumen Technologies for the ILA huts project. As a sole-source award based on economic feasibility rather than competitive bidding, the pricing represents the vendor's proposal for the telecommunications infrastructure work. The contract is being awarded without standard competitive procurement procedures, reflecting the state's determination that this vendor possesses unique qualifications and capabilities required for this specific I-55 corridor telecommunications initiative.
