EMERGENCY FINAL COST AND TERM NOTICE - ISVI Tree Cleanup and Removal

The state of Illinois, specifically the Department of Human Services' Chief Procurement Office for General Services, executed an emergency procurement for tree cleanup and removal services at the Illinois School for the Visually Impaired (ISVI) in Jacksonville. The emergency contract was performed by Turner Tree Service, also located in Jacksonville, under purchase orders B-48852 and B-50096. The project was carried out from August 4, 2025, through October 23, 2025, spanning approximately 81 days of service delivery. The primary objective of this emergency procurement was to complete comprehensive tree cleanup and removal at the ISVI facility. The final total cost for these emergency services was $39,000.00, which was documented in a formal final cost and term notice filed on November 14, 2025, by Jean Sandstrom, the Agency Procurement Office representative. This procurement was not a competitive bidding opportunity but a post-award reporting requirement to notify the Chief Procurement Office and Auditor General of the contract's completion.

The document does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation. Turner Tree Service was the sole vendor identified for this emergency procurement, and no information was provided about alternative vendors or competitive bidding processes. The procurement appears to have been a direct emergency response to a specific site maintenance need at the ISVI facility. No details were included about potential infrastructure integration requirements or technology specifications. The contract's total value was firmly established at $39,000.00, representing the complete compensation for the tree cleanup and removal services. The emergency nature of the procurement suggests an urgent need for tree removal services that required immediate action to address potential safety or operational issues at the school facility.
