CHANGE ORDER NOTICE - Midwest Fleet Manager

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Chief Procurement Office for General Services, is extending the Midwest Fleet Manager contract (BBREFNO: B-53037) through December 31, 2026, with a change order due July 16, 2026. The contract currently expires July 31, 2026; this six-month extension prevents a lapse in fleet management services.

The vendor continues providing fleet management services across Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin, with primary responsibilities including oversight and coordination of the Midwest High-Speed Rail program, management of the Midwest Next Generation Equipment Pool, and serving as primary point of communication among IDOT, participating states, the Federal Railroad Administration, the Service Operator, and the Midwest States Oversight Body.

The change order increases contract funding to support fifteen vendor staff positions during the six-month extension at hourly rates established in the most recent contract renewal. Per Section 33E-9 of the Criminal Code, the extension circumstances are germane to the original contract and relate to the ongoing Midwest High-Speed Rail program initiative. The change order was posted on the Bulletin/BidDuy system for the required 14-day review period.
