Emergency Extension Notice Sewer Chewer Repair

The state and local contracting opportunity is for an emergency extension to a sewer chewer repair contract for the Manteno Village facility in Kankakee County, Illinois. The Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs originally awarded a $40,000 emergency contract to address a failed sewer system causing a backup of sewage. This extension of $84,986.03 will cover the cost to alter the existing sewer lines to properly accommodate the new sewer chewer system, as the original manufacturer is no longer producing the required equipment. The extension is necessary to correct the emergency condition and avoid further damage to the facility and disruption of operations. The extension will cover the period from February 13, 2024 through August 11, 2024. A competitive procurement process cannot be used to meet the immediate need, as sewage backup would force the facility to shut down until the issue could be resolved through normal procurement procedures.

There is no set-aside designation or restriction on the types of organizations that can respond to this emergency extension. The incumbent vendor is not specified. The total value of the extended contract will be $124,986.03, which covers the initial $40,000 award plus the $84,986.03 extension. There is currently no competitive procurement in process to replace this emergency contract.
