Change order notice - in-LIN filtration vent system

The Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) Office of Business Services (OBS) is issuing a Change Order Notice for the procurement of an in-line filtration/ventilation system to be installed with a new Allegheny industrial rotary shredder/baler at their 5000 Industrial Avenue facility in Springfield. The original rotary shredder/baler was procured through a competitive bid process, but the in-line filtration/ventilation system was presented as an optional item that was not included in the awarded bid. Due to insufficient existing ventilation to handle the paper dust generated by the new shredder/baler, this small purchase of an in-line filtration/ventilation system needs to be completed prior to installation of the new equipment to ensure proper working conditions and air quality. The Change Order Notice provides the detailed explanation that the circumstances necessitating the change were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the original contract was signed, and that the change is germane to the original contract. The original contract was awarded through the RFP process, and this Change Order is for a small purchase that will be made separately from the main contract. The procurement is limited to the St. Clair County jurisdiction, and the submission deadline is November 9, 2022. No information is provided regarding any set-aside designations, incumbent vendors, or award value/budget range.
