EMERGENCY NOTICE - Compliance & Auditing Services

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has issued an Emergency Purchase Statement (EPS R-320282) on May 13, 2026 authorizing continued compliance and auditing services from Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP dba Baker Tilly Advisory Group, LP through August 23, 2026. This is not a bidding opportunity; it is a public notice of emergency procurement — the incumbent vendor has been selected to maintain service continuity while IDOT develops a new RFP.

The scope is demand-based audit and compliance work assigned by IDOT's Bureau of Investigations and Compliance, including internal and external audits, staff assistance and training, vendor integrity assessments, application and general control reviews, overhead audits, consultant agreement and contract cost audits, contract management audits, railroad and utility audits, and grant-related reviews. All work must comply with GAGAS, GAAS, GAAP, FAR, the AASHTO Audit Guide, 2 CFR 200, the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act, and IDOT Departmental Orders.

The estimated total expenditure is $499,200.00, funded through State Appropriations. There is no guaranteed minimum work volume; payments are made only for billable hours performed in accordance with approved work orders. The vendor is Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP dba Baker Tilly Advisory Group, LP, located in Madison, Wisconsin.

The emergency classification was invoked to prevent disruption of critical compliance services and to meet a June 30 consultant compliance submission deadline. IDOT confirmed that no active State contract was available to meet the need and documented best efforts to include Business Enterprise Program-certified vendors; the Department and vendor agreed to continue utilizing the current certified BEP vendor subcontractor. All personnel changes require written approval following submission of resumes meeting contract requirements.
