Civil Engineering Roadway and Bridge Design Emergency

This is an emergency procurement by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for critical Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) software application solutions from Bentley Systems, Incorporated. IDOT has utilized Bentley Systems' industry-standard CADD software for over 20 years, and the emergency procurement is necessary as IDOT's current contract with Bentley expired on June 30, 2021, and the new contract procured through a Request for Proposal (RFP) in December 2020 is still under negotiation. The emergency procurement is for a 90-day term from July 1, 2021 to September 29, 2021, and includes an Enterprise License Subscription and a Graduated ProjectWise CE (Global) Subscription from Bentley Systems totaling $388,848.25. This emergency purchase will allow IDOT to continue utilizing Bentley's CADD software solutions, which are critical for the agency's varied planning, design, maintenance, and construction related disciplines and workflow processes for roads and bridges across Illinois, while the new contract is finalized.

This emergency procurement is open only to Bentley Systems, Incorporated, as the incumbent vendor and sole provider of the required CADD software solutions for IDOT. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is a sole-source procurement. The total value of the 90-day emergency contract is $388,848.25, and it is being funded through state appropriated funds.
