Emergency Extension LCPTracker Payroll Solution

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is extending an emergency contract with LCPTracker for payroll and prevailing wage software maintenance through October 29, 2026 — a notice of contract action, not a bid opportunity. The extension runs 90 days from July 30, 2026, at an estimated cost of $79,474.54.

IDOT justifies the extension as necessary to maintain continuous legal compliance with federal prevailing wage requirements, including the Davis-Bacon Act, which mandates retention of payroll documents for three years post-project completion. The LCPTracker Payroll Solution manages prevailing wage laws and rates at the state and federal levels, performs over 70 automated validation checks on submitted payrolls to prevent wage violations, and maintains government security standards including FedRAMP Moderate and SOC compliance.

This is the first extension of an emergency contract that originated after the vendor's previous sole-source contract expired on January 28, 2026. IDOT completed an interim small purchase under emergency conditions through April 30, 2026, and the original emergency contract (BidBuy Reference #B-52275) ran from May 1 through July 29, 2026, at a cost of $77,822.10.

The extension was approved by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office on July 27, 2026. IDOT is concurrently pursuing a long-term replacement through Invitation for Bid #27-494DOT-FINAD-B-52823, with a bid opening of July 30, 2026 and anticipated contract award approval in August 2026, at which point the emergency extension will terminate. No Business Enterprise Program participation goal applies, as the procurement is under $100,000.
