NOT A BIDDING OPPORTUNITY Emergency Notice FY26 Shapiro Chiller Rental Unit 514

The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, on behalf of the Department of Human Services Shapiro Center in Kankakee, has awarded an emergency purchase for rental, delivery, and installation of a temporary HVAC chiller unit for Building 514, with work authorized June 26, 2026 and a final cost reconciliation due by July 10, 2026.

This is not a bidding opportunity. The procurement was conducted as an emergency purchase under the Small Business Set Aside Program due to failure and non-repairability of the existing chiller unit; summer temperatures and threat to resident health and safety triggered the emergency declaration. The contract was awarded to Reicher Industries, the existing HVAC maintenance contractor serving the Shapiro Center under a master contract, based on prior successful service history and competitive rates aligned with master contract terms. Work commenced June 23, 2026.

The total contract amount is $103,020, funded from State Appropriated Funds. The scope consists of temporary chiller unit rental, delivery, and installation at 100 E. Jeffrey, Kankakee, Illinois 60901, covering the period until permanent replacement is installed. No Business Enterprise Program participation goal was deemed applicable to this emergency purchase type.

An Emergency Final Cost form will be submitted and published by the State Purchasing Officer no later than July 10, 2026 to reconcile estimated versus actual costs. The emergency procurement was determined to include as much competition as practicable under the circumstances, with best efforts to include certified contractors in the process.
