CHANGE ORDER NOTICE Professional Engineering Services

The State of Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) has issued a Change Order Notice regarding Contract B-18682 for Professional Fiber Engineering Services with Globetrotters Engineering Corporation (GEC). The change order extends the contract end date from December 31, 2020 to April 30, 2021 to allow for the completion of existing fiber relocation jobs related to IDOT road projects. Additionally, the change order increases the contract value by $400,000 to cover the remaining work from January 1, 2021 to April 30, 2021, as well as any unforeseen jobs that may arise related to work being done by other entities. This change order is necessary because the existing contract with GEC is set to expire on December 31, 2020 and there are no renewal options left, but there are two active orders with GEC that will likely extend past the contract end date. The additional $400,000 in funding will cover the remaining work on these active orders and any other unanticipated fiber relocation jobs during the 4-month extension period.

This change order is not a new solicitation, but rather an extension and increase to an existing contract. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is an extension of an existing contract with GEC. The incumbent vendor is Globetrotters Engineering Corporation, and the current contract value is being increased by $400,000 to a total of approximately $1.4 million for the 4-month extension period.
