Change order notice - CSS D7-D9

The state of Illinois, specifically through the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and Office of Business and Workforce Development (OBWD), is issuing a change order for a Certification Supportive Services contract covering Districts 7-9. This change order is exclusively focused on time extension, extending the current contract period from January 31, 2025, to May 1, 2025. The primary objective is to provide sufficient time for securing a new contract while maintaining continuity of services. The vendor will be required to continue providing certification supportive services and conduct ongoing outreach to IDOT and OBWD's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) businesses within the specified districts. The change order is time-specific and does not appear to modify the scope of existing services or introduce new deliverables. The due date for this change order is February 10, 2025, with the extended contract period ending on May 1, 2025.

The change order suggests a focus on supporting DBE businesses, indicating potential set-aside or preferential considerations for minority-owned or disadvantaged enterprises. While specific details about incumbent vendors are not explicitly stated, the document implies an ongoing relationship with a current service provider. No specific award values or budget ranges are provided in the available documentation. The opportunity seems centered on maintaining continuity of certification and outreach services for IDOT and OBWD's DBE businesses in Districts 7-9. However, the attached government file appears to be a placeholder PDF with Adobe Reader loading instructions, which limits the ability to extract additional detailed information about the procurement. Interested vendors should carefully review the full change order documentation and potentially contact IDOT or OBWD directly for more comprehensive details about the contract extension and expectations.
