Change Order Notice-Sourcewell Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment

This change order notice pertains to a modification of an existing Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) contract between the Illinois Finance Authority (IFA) and CCGI Holdings Inc. through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program. The procurement encompasses the development of publicly-accessible EV charging infrastructure across 175 locations spanning 23 counties in Illinois with 33 project partners participating. The project deliverables include the supply and installation of approximately 659 Level 2 EV charging ports and 58 DC fast-charging ports, with CCGI Holdings Inc. serving as the turnkey EVSE service provider responsible for supplying charging hardware, managing network operations, and providing ongoing maintenance and support. The original contract period extends from October 15, 2025 through July 20, 2026, with service delivery continuing through completion of all installations. The change order was approved on March 26-27, 2026, by the Agency Purchasing Officer, State Purchasing Officer, and Chief Procurement Officer, with a posting date of March 30, 2026, and a due date of April 13, 2026.

The cost adjustment increases the original contract value from $2,388,909.00 to $2,505,377.00, representing a $116,468.00 increase necessitated by additional infrastructure requirements identified during formal site visits, including increased electrical capacity and additional conduit installations at certain locations. The UChicago site was removed from the project scope, partially offsetting the cost increase. CCGI Holdings Inc. is the incumbent vendor and current contractor for this procurement, and the change order justification emphasizes that selecting an alternative vendor would delay the project by approximately six months, result in loss of completed site engineering and design work, and cause the State to miss the June 30 federal tax credit deadline for EV charging station installations. The existing contract infrastructure and technology with CCGI Holdings Inc. require integration, as the vendor has already invested substantial time and resources in project development.
