Change order notice - CSS D1-D3

The state of Illinois, specifically the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Office of Business and Workforce Development (OBWD), is seeking a change order for Certification Supportive Services (CSS) for Districts 1-3. This change order is designed to extend the current contract until May 1, 2025, and provide additional funding to prevent a lapse in service coverage as the existing contract is set to expire on January 31, 2025. The primary objectives include continuing certification support services and maintaining outreach efforts to IDOT and OBWD Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs). The vendor will be responsible for providing ongoing support and engagement with DBE businesses in the specified districts. The change order is posted on January 27, 2025, with a response deadline of February 10, 2025, allowing potential contractors a brief window to review and respond to the opportunity.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the focus on DBE businesses suggests a potential preference for disadvantaged or minority-owned enterprises. The contract appears to have a specific focus on supporting and certifying DBE businesses within IDOT Districts 1-3, indicating a potential priority for businesses that meet these criteria. Unfortunately, the attached government file appears to be a placeholder or error page, preventing a comprehensive review of specific award values, budget ranges, or detailed integration requirements. The change order implies continuity of existing services, suggesting that the current vendor may have the opportunity to extend their contract. Without additional documentation, precise details about contractor qualifications, exact service specifications, or financial parameters cannot be definitively stated.
