Emergerncy Final Costs

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT), is procuring emergency services from SEPS, Inc. to engineer, furnish, and install new uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, generators, and related equipment statewide. The services also include power installation, maintenance, emergency maintenance, and preventative maintenance, which are crucial to keeping critical state services operating during power outages. The emergency procurement is due to the expiration of the current competitively bid contract on September 14, 2021, with no remaining renewals. The emergency term is from September 15, 2021 to December 13, 2021 at an estimated cost of $102,000. DoIT selected SEPS, Inc. because they have the existing contract and familiarity with the DoIT/ICN sites and equipment, as well as the required security clearance and certified staff to perform the specialized work. This emergency procurement was necessary to prevent disruption of critical state services that affect health, safety, and substantial state revenues.

The procurement is limited to SEPS, Inc. as the incumbent vendor with the existing contract and required qualifications. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The procurement is being funded through state appropriated funds, and the estimated value of the emergency contract is $102,000.
