Emergency Extension notice Nursing Home Monitor

This contract opportunity is an emergency extension of a nursing home monitoring contract for the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) in St. Clair County. IDPH is requesting a 180-day extension of an existing $96,750 emergency contract with CertiSurv, LLC to provide a qualified nursing staff team to monitor and inspect nine long-term care facilities that have fallen into financial distress. The extension will allow CertiSurv to complete the initial surveys and assessments of all nine facilities, which includes observing facility staff, reviewing records, meeting with residents, and determining if the facilities are meeting the direct care needs of residents. IDPH is developing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish a long-term monitoring contract, but needed this extension to address the immediate public safety concerns at these facilities.

The contract extension will be fully federally funded, so no Businesses Enterprise Program (BEP) participation is required. However, IDPH intends to incorporate BEP requirements into the future long-term agreement. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this extension. CertiSurv is the incumbent vendor, and the extension will not change the original scope of work. The budget for the 180-day extension is capped at the original $96,750 contract value.
