Emergency Notice-Overhead Door Rep J0951 Des Plaines

This is an emergency procurement issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services on behalf of the Central Management Services agency, Bureau of Property Management, for overhead door repair services at facility J0951 located at 9511 West Harrison Street in Des Plaines, Illinois, within Cook County jurisdiction. The procurement addresses an urgent safety hazard involving an overhead door at CMS Garage 49 North in Glendale Heights that has run off its tracks and become suspended from its remaining steel rollers, posing an immediate public safety risk requiring emergency remediation. The selected vendor, United Door & Dock of Springfield, Illinois, was chosen based on their immediate availability, specialized knowledge of the door system, and capacity for rapid response. The service period runs from December 12, 2025, through March 12, 2026, with work to commence immediately upon execution of the emergency purchase order. No specific evaluation criteria, site visits, or bidders' meetings are applicable to this emergency procurement, as it does not constitute an open solicitation. The estimated expenditure for this emergency procurement is $4,921 in state appropriated funds, and the contract award was authorized by Martha Blackwell, Facilities Portfolio Manager, on December 15, 2025.

While this emergency procurement identified five Business Enterprise Program (BEP) certified vendors available under NIGP Code 91055, the urgent nature of the safety hazard necessitated direct engagement of United Door & Dock without formal competition, though the procurement documents indicate efforts to include BEP-certified contractors in compliance with Illinois procurement requirements. Vendors responding to future solicitations under this procurement notice must complete the Request for Proposal Offer form (version 26.1) and comply with all 34 statutory and regulatory certifications outlined in the Standard Illinois Certifications form (version 26.2), including certifications related to legal entity status, equal employment opportunity, drug-free workplace compliance, cybersecurity requirements, and political contribution restrictions. All services must be performed in the United States unless otherwise disclosed, and any shift of work outside the United States after award may constitute a breach of contract. Subcontractors with annual contract values exceeding $100,000 must provide Financial Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest forms or IPG Active Registered Vendor Disclosure forms. The due date for proposal submissions is March 12, 2026, and non-compliance with certification requirements may result in contract voidance, suspension, debarment, denial of payment, civil fines, or criminal penalties. No incumbent vendor exists for this specific emergency procurement, as this represents a direct emergency purchase rather than a competitive bid process.
