Renewal 2 of 4, for Coal at Choate Mental Health and Murray Dev. Center

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Human Services, is seeking to renew a 12-month contract with Eagle River Coal, LLC for the supply of coal to the Choate Mental Health and Murray Developmental Center facilities. This is a renewal of an existing master contract for coal supply, with two additional one-year renewal options available. The contract value is $1,082,000 for the initial 12-month term. The procurement was conducted through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process, and the contract was awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. There are no set-aside requirements for participation from Business Enterprise Program (BEP) or Veteran Business Program (VBP) vendors. The justification for the contract award is based on the reasonableness of the purchasing agency's recommendation and the terms of the existing contract.

The contract is focused on the delivery of coal to support the operations of two state-run healthcare facilities in St. Clair County, Illinois. The awarded vendor, Eagle River Coal, LLC, will be responsible for providing the coal in accordance with the contract specifications and terms. The contract award decision was made without any identified incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there are no specific technology or infrastructure integration requirements referenced in the available documentation.
