EMERGENCY FINAL COSTS - 18-0092 Out of State Registration Retrieval Services

This state and local contracting opportunity from the State of Illinois is for emergency final costs related to out-of-state registration retrieval services originally published under Bid B-2056. The Illinois Tollway Authority is procuring these services to prevent a serious disruption in critical state services that affect the collection of substantial state revenues. The incumbent vendor, Law Enforcement Systems LLC (LES), previously provided these services via a sole source contract that ended on June 30, 2017. The Tollway then awarded a competitive contract, but a protest was filed, necessitating the current emergency procurement with LES to ensure business continuity until the new contract with RGA Solutions LLC could be implemented. The emergency contract with LES is estimated to cost $700,000 and run from July 2, 2018 to October 1, 2018. Without these services, the Tollway estimates it would lose $250,000 to $450,000 in revenue per week, as it would be unable to pursue violators for toll collection, fees, and fines within the required 90-day timeframe.

The procurement does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The posted documents do not indicate any listed incumbent vendors or current contractors beyond LES, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The final cost for the emergency contract is $700,000.
