CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - CSS D4 - D6 - Amendment #3

The state of Illinois, specifically the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and Office of Business and Workforce Development (OBWD), is issuing a change order amendment for an existing contract focused on Certification Supportive Services (CSS) for Districts 4 and 6. This contract modification represents a time-only extension, extending the current contract period from May 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025, to provide sufficient time for securing a new contract. The primary objective of this amendment is to continue certification support services and maintain ongoing outreach efforts to IDOT and OBWD Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) within the specified districts. The contractor will be required to maintain existing service levels and continue supporting DBE businesses during this transitional period. The change order was posted on April 14, 2025, with a response deadline of April 28, 2025, indicating a relatively short window for review and potential negotiation.

The contract opportunity appears to have a focus on supporting Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, suggesting potential set-aside or preferential considerations for DBE organizations. While specific award values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the amendment implies continuity of an existing contract with established service parameters. The scope of work encompasses certification support services and DBE business outreach, targeting IDOT and OBWD operations in Districts 4 and 6. The change order suggests an ongoing commitment to supporting minority and disadvantaged business participation in state transportation and infrastructure projects. Though precise qualification requirements are not detailed in the provided information, the contract implies a need for vendors with expertise in DBE certification, business support, and governmental outreach capabilities.
