EMERGENCY NOTICE - WSRC Chiller Repair

The state of Illinois, specifically the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), is pursuing an emergency contract for chiller repair at the World Shooting and Recreation Complex (WSRC) located in Richland County. This is not a traditional solicitation for services, but rather a direct intent to contract with Weeks Sales & Service, Inc. for specific repair work on the facility's chiller system. The procurement appears to be an emergency purchase, which suggests urgent maintenance needs that require immediate attention to maintain facility operations. The contract opportunity was posted on June 26, 2025, with a stated due date of September 22, 2025. While detailed specifications are limited in the provided documentation, the primary objective seems to be restoring or maintaining critical HVAC infrastructure at the World Shooting and Recreation Complex event center.

Given the emergency nature of the procurement, typical set-aside designations or competitive bidding processes appear to have been bypassed. The contract is being directly awarded to Weeks Sales & Service, Inc., indicating a sole-source procurement based on the vendor's specific capabilities or existing relationship with the DNR. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the available documentation. The procurement is geographically confined to Richland County, Illinois, and is focused on a specialized repair service for a specific piece of mechanical equipment. Without additional documentation, precise details about vendor qualifications, integration requirements, or the full scope of the chiller repair remain unclear. The emergency designation suggests the repair is time-sensitive and critical to the continued operation of the World Shooting and Recreation Complex event center.
