3RD EXTENSION OF EMERGENCY 18-0092 Out of State Registration Retrieval Services

Paragraph 1:

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Tollway Authority, is seeking a 3rd emergency extension of Contract #18-0092 for Out of State Registration Retrieval Services. The services involve retrieving vehicle registrations from out-of-state to enable the timely pursuit of toll violators and collection of revenue, which is critical to the Tollway's operations. The initial emergency contract was awarded in 2018 to Law Enforcement Systems LLC (LES) on a sole-source basis. Due to a protested competitive bid and the inability of the awarded vendor to meet service requirements, the Tollway is now requesting a 3-month extension from July 1 to September 30, 2019, with a $300,000 increase to the contract limit. A public hearing on the extension is scheduled for June 26, 2019 in Springfield and Downers Grove, Illinois. The Tollway is actively working to rebid the contract through a new Request for Proposal (B-6321), but requires this extension to maintain business continuity.

Paragraph 2:

The contract opportunity is limited to the jurisdictions of DuPage County, Sangamon County, and Downers Grove Village. No set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are mentioned. LES is the incumbent vendor, having provided these services on an emergency basis since 2018. The total contract limit across the initial emergency contract and its extensions is now $900,000. Funding for this contract extension will be from sources other than federal or state-appropriated funds.
