Emergency notice sidewalk repair

This emergency state and local contract opportunity is for the replacement of a sidewalk and cap over a tunnel by the Marshall Gym on the campus of the Illinois School for the Deaf. The Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of the Illinois School for the Deaf, has issued an emergency procurement to address safety concerns after the original contractor encountered an asbestos issue that requires immediate remediation and sidewalk replacement. The emergency procurement has an estimated value of $40,000 and a term from August 8, 2022 to October 14, 2022, with the work to be funded through state appropriated funds. The agency has determined that an existing state contract cannot meet the immediate need for this sidewalk repair project.

The contract has a 0% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal, meaning there are no specific set-aside requirements for minority, women, or disadvantaged business enterprises to participate. While the agency made best efforts to include BEP certified contractors in the emergency procurement process, the BEP goal was calculated as zero. No additional details are provided regarding the incumbent vendor or any existing infrastructure that requires integration.
