CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - D2, D8, & D9 Pickup and Disposal of Tires and Scrap Rubber

The state of Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has issued a change order notice for an existing contract related to the pickup and disposal of tires and scrap rubber in IDOT Districts 2, 8, and 9. The change order increases the contract value by $198,000.00 to address an immediate and unanticipated increase in the volume of scrap rubber and tires collected along roadways. This increase is necessary to prevent potential fines, as IDOT must remove the scrap rubber in a timely manner. The original contract was not able to anticipate the significant rise in scrap rubber and tire collection, and this change order will address the current service demand until a new contract can be put in place.

The change order does not provide details on the pricing terms or source of funding for the additional $198,000.00. The original contract specifications and evaluation criteria are also not included. The solicitation has a due date of December 28, 2022, providing a relatively short turnaround for interested vendors. There is no indication of any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor are any incumbent vendors or current contractors listed. The total award value or budget range is not explicitly stated in the provided documentation.
