Change Order Notice: Management Supportive Services for Districts 7 - 9

The state of Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is issuing a change order for Management Supportive Services for Districts 7-9, extending the current contract's timeline from February 1, 2025, to May 1, 2025. This change order is designed to provide sufficient time to secure a new contract while maintaining continuity of services. The primary objective of the contract is to continue management supportive services and conduct outreach to IDOT and the Office of OBWD Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) for the specified geographic districts. The procurement appears to be a time extension of an existing contract, allowing the current vendor to continue providing essential management and outreach services without interruption. The contract opportunity was posted on January 27, 2025, with a response due date of February 10, 2025, indicating a relatively short window for review and potential bidding.

While specific details about set-aside designations are not explicitly stated, the mention of the Office of OBWD DBE suggests a potential focus on disadvantaged business enterprise participation. The change order implies that there is an incumbent vendor currently providing management supportive services who will continue operations during this extension period. Unfortunately, the attached government file appears to be a PDF compatibility error page, which prevents a comprehensive review of specific vendor qualifications, award values, or precise budget ranges. The contract seems to be focused on continued management and outreach services for IDOT's Districts 7-9, with an emphasis on supporting and engaging with disadvantaged business enterprises in the region. The time-limited nature of this change order indicates that a full competitive procurement process is anticipated in the near future to select a long-term service provider.
