Emergency Notice-G1306 DuQuoin Gas Leak//water Damage

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Central Management Services, is procuring emergency water clean-up services for a state facility in Du Quoin, Illinois. On January 25, 2023, a Halon gas leak caused the fire suppression system to activate and soak several areas of the facility, including the Main Entry, Dispatch area, Kitchen, Entry way, Communication Room, and Bathroom. The selected vendor, R & L Restoration LLC, d/b/a Servpro, will provide all labor and materials for the water clean-up, with an expected start date of January 25, 2023 and an estimated end date of April 24, 2023 at a cost of $15,000. The agency utilized best efforts to include contractors certified under the Business Enterprise Program, but found only two vendors located far from the site that were registered under the applicable NIGP code. The emergency procurement is being funded through state appropriated funds.

The state sought to include contractors certified under the Business Enterprise Program, which is a set-aside program for disadvantaged enterprises. While the agency was unable to find eligible vendors in close proximity to the site, the procurement remains open to all qualified contractors. There is no incumbent vendor or current contractor identified, and the scope of work does not require integration with any existing infrastructure or technology. The total award value for this emergency procurement is $15,000.
