FINAL COSTS - EMERGENCY - I-PASS Distribution and Back-End Support Svcs

This posting publishes the final costs of an emergency procurement by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority to secure the distribution and back-end support services for the I-PASS transponder program from the current vendor, IGOR The Watchdog Corp. The emergency contract was necessary due to a protest received after IGOR was recommended for a new long-term contract following a recent RFP process. The emergency contract was for a 90-day term from January 1 to March 31, 2020, with a not-to-exceed amount of $600,000, though the actual contract term was from January 1 to March 11, 2020 with final costs of $242,378.80. These services are critical to the continuity of the I-PASS retail program, which accounts for 90% of toll revenue. The emergency procurement was funded through the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority's business systems division.

This emergency contract was limited to the current vendor, IGOR The Watchdog Corp., as the existing provider of these services. No set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types were mentioned. The emergency contract was necessary to maintain the I-PASS retail program services until the protest could be resolved and a new long-term contract executed. The posted procurement does not include any information on a potential budget range or award value for the future long-term contract.
