  Using Local Income Funds

 

  Chicago State University's current small purchase contract for food service management expires 12/31/2023. 

  Love's Leafy Bean LLC is able to provide temporary food services for the University for the estimated budget. 

 

 

  Chicago State University requires engagement with a vendor to provide food service management services for

  the campus on an emergency basis from January 1 - March 30, 2024 for approximately 275 students.  Because

  of the timing of meetings, approval could not be secured from the Chicago State University Board of Trustees

  prior to the expiration of the original emergency purchase LLBEFY24 and it could not be extended.  A small

  purchase was issued to the same vendor for services for the month of December 2023 only.  This second

  emergency purchase is being advanced to continue services with the start of the new calendar year for an

  additional three month period so that a competitive RFP process can be completed to select a vendor.

 

  This Emergency Purchase has an expected start date of 1/1/2024 through 03/30/2024 with an Original

  Estimated Cost of $651,500.00, using Local Income Funds.

  Using Federal Funding

 

  Bob Thomas Ford Lincoln has the vehicles at the dealership ready for purchase, meaning that the Illinois State

  Police would not have to wait for any build times to obtain the needed vehicles.  The vendor will hold the two

  vehicles for ISP for 3 weeks with no down payment, so that ISP can complete the quick purchase

  procurement.  These two vehicles are needed to be the prime movers for the Rook Critical Incident Response

  vehicles that the Illinois State Police (ISP) Special Operations Command/State Weapons of Mass Destruction

  Team  (SOCOM/SWMDT) currently has.

 

  Two (2) 2024 Ford F-550 Chassis 4x4 SD Crew Cab, 203 inch Wheel Base DRW XL

 

  The Illinois State Police was slated to purchase one of the needed vehicles from a local dealership in Illinois, but

  the vehicle was sold before the procurement process could be completed.  The two vehicles requested to be

  purchased are at a lower rate than the one truck that was sold prior to signatures on the contract. The original

  purchase of one Ford F-550 with the same specifications and build as the purchase of two was $81,535.00.

  The new cost for two (2) trucks is $153,053.50 which is a savings of $10,016.50 buying two vehicles instead

  of the original one that was sold during the contracting process.

 

  The existing contract would require extensive build times that would result in the loss of federal funding for this

  project.  These two vehicles are ready for purchase and price is comparable to pricing on State Contract.

 

  This Emergency Purchase has an expected start date of 12/19/2023 through 03/18/2024 with an Original

  Estimated Cost of $153,053.50, using Federal Funding.

  On the eve of 10/26/23, appropriately 5:00 PM, one of our Tandem dump trucks inside of Bay 1 at our Peoria

  West Yard, caught on fire. The fire was extinguished by the Peoria Fire Department approximately an hour later

  and there was significant smoke and fire damage to Bay 1, 2 and part of Bay 3, the office areas and significant

  smoke damage to the whole facility. We were informed by the Peoria Fire Inspector, because of the variables in

  this type of fire put off by the tires on the truck, the smoke contains a certain type of oil and these are

  carcinogens, which are cancerous to breath and touch. Because of the carcinogens the Fire Department

  condemned the whole facility until it has been cleaned by a professional Fire Restoration Company.  Our Peoria

  West Yard is the District's largest Yard with 27 permanent employees, plus 25 snow employees, it is responsible

   for 804 lane miles including the critical I-74 corridor, and at the time of the fire dangerous weather conditions

  were predicted in the near future. IDOT had to make an immediate decision to get the Yard back open and we

  needed a Vendor that could start cleaning immediately. SERVPRO was registered in BidBuy, which is why the

  vendor was called to quote the services. We contacted the Vendor, they showed up immediately and they were

  able to assemble a cleaning staff, get multiple air purifiers and started immediately on the cleaning process. Our

  restoration plan was to condemn Bay 1, 2 and 3, and start immediate cleaning of the office space and the six (6)

   remaining truck bays to get our Yard up and running as soon as possible. We knew because of the extensive

  damage to bays 1,2 and 3 it would need we knew to go through CDB. With the presence of cancerous

  carcinogens, this type of restoration cleaning requires wiping down every square inch affected, for the safety of

   our employees. 

 

  Total fire restoration cleaning services which includes all labor, equipment and materials on an emergency basis.

   They Vendor provided multiple air purifiers, removal and disposal of smoke damaged and contaminated

  materials, off site restoration of important items and hours of individual removal of wiping cancerous

  carcinogens from all the surfaces. 

 

  (990-79) BEP Goal setting formula was completed and resulted in 0% goal. There is only 1 registered vendor 

  BEP vendor that provides these services. Vendors were contacted to quote the emergency service. Servpro was

   the first vendor that responded with 12 hours. They were able to schedule immediate cleanup services to

  remove the carcinogens from the area of the building where employees work.

  The current emergency contract (P-58687) with the vendor ended 12/30/23. IDOT posted an IFB under B-

  37739 which opened 7/28/23. The bid is still under administrative review. It was expected award would be

  made by the end of the emergency extension. An additional 90 day emergency term is needed to continue parts

  supply during winter operations season. This emergency will be terminated upon award and execution of a new

  repairs during the winter season.

  Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Office of Emergency Response (OER) manages a coordinated

  statewide 24-hour Agency environmental response program for incidents involving the release of oil, hazardous

  materials, and other contaminants. OER serves as a primary liaison to the State Emergency Operations Center.

  OER staff are trained, experienced, and equipped to respond to emergency situations. Their two priorities are to

  1) communicate with responsible parties, first responders, local governments, and the public about releases and

  associated concerns to ensure proper mitigation and cleanup, and 2) coordinate with federal, state and local

  partners in planning for and responding to large spills and disasters. OER on-scene coordinators are located in

  Des Plaines, Springfield, and Collinsville and are responsible for statewide coverage. This means they travel

  frequently over long distances and in offroad conditions to reach incident locations. They also carry a significant

   amount of monitoring equipment and field gear, such as absorbent pads and booms for oil spill response.

 

 

 

IEPA has tried to purchase this vehicle through multiple avenues. First, we did a release off of the master

  contract in fiscal year 2021. This release was disapproved because while the vehicle was available, it was a

  police interceptor. Once we received the disapproval, we did a release off master with Morrow Brothers in

  fiscal year 2022 (December 2021) for two F-150s. CMS notified the Agency that we would be unable to order

  and to place a model year 2023 orders. Due to timing and growing age of vehicles we placed an order in

  December 2022 for three F-150s from the master contract with Morrow Brothers.

 

   

 

As of March 2023, Morrow Brothers states they have our order, however Morrow Brothers nor Ford will

  guarantee that our order is built. There is no timeline commitment and no promises made to the IEPA that our

  order will come through.

 

 

 

These vehicles are critical pieces to the Office of Emergency Response, therefore we have no choice but to

  move forward looking for a  vehicle option that meets our needs.

 

   

 

IEPA is  pursuing a purchase with Jansen Chevrolet who currently has a 2024 Chevrolet Tahoe on their lot

  that meet all of our needs.  Jansen Chevrolet is already in the State of Illinois BidBuy system, so this ensures us

  that they are aware of the state's terms and we should not run into issues with them.

 

  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors, including supply chain shortages, obtaining vehicles is

  incredibly difficult for the State.  While there are vehicles on Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC), the

  contracted vendors are at the mercy of the auto manufacturers who are having difficulties in obtaining the parts

  and other materials to build the vehicles. The only contracted vendor who can meet our needs (Morrow

  Brothers Ford) cannot guarantee our order which we have placed each fiscal year for the last three. Section 20-

  30(d) of the Illinois Procurement Code and the CPO-GS Administrative Rules [44 Ill. Adm. Code 1.2030(c)]

  provide that the use of the Emergency method of source selection may be used to make a "quick purchase" in

  situations when "items are available on the spot market or at discounted prices for a limited time so that good

  business judgment mandates a "quick purchase" immediately to take advantage of the availability and price". 

  The emergency spot market method of procurement was chosen over a competitive solicitation because of the

  amount of time a competitive selection could take and given the current market environment, vehicle dealerships

   are unlikely to hold a vehicle on their lots without a guarantee of award.

  The Agency seeks to proceed with an Emergency project and seeks to select T&J Plumbing, Inc -- Vendor ID

  V00001255 (T&J) serving the Greater Chicagoland Area. T&J is a Small Business Set-Aside and has registered

  in the State’s Bid Buy system. T&J is intimately familiar with the existing system, has worked at the North Point

   Marina for over twenty years, and is currently mobilized to the site (for other projects). The lead time for lift

  station repairs was proposed, initially, to be swift but, due to COVID-19-related manufacturing constraints, will

  be weeks longer than anticipated. The delayed pumps are currently on-site and installed (but unable to function

  due to the recently discovered leaks). Given the Emergency Criteria on this project, the Agency has identified

  T&J as best suited to expeditiously replace the failed lift station systems and associated failed piping work.

 

  The Agency would like to move forward with the proposed repairs to the lift station system (includes 2 failed

  pumps and controls) as well as the failed piping discovered during repairs. The original lift station system repairs

   include labor and materials associated with removing and installing the existing duplex pump system, control

  panel, four (4) mechanical switches, two (2) uni-checks, rail systems (for floats), rail guide, cables and lifting

  chockers, new check valves, and electrical work (not associated with a systemic electrical upgrade already

  completed) but including wiring between the generator and control cabinet, new outdoor rated disconnect,

  transfer switch, and wiring to the pump controls. Existing piping was anticipated to remain but was it was

  discovered during construction that this pipe was leaking (specifically at a 4” elbow in the 2nd Pit). A video of

  piping system is proposed (rather than patching and anticipating an immediate failure elsewhere in the piping

  system).

  Estimated cost of 3 temporary engineers to work 8 hours shifts at the MABB building in Chicago due to staffing

   shortages. The current staff must monitor the building 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and due to need, they

  can take no time off. If unforseen circumstances were to happen this would mean the remaining staff would be

  forced to work 12-24 hour shifts which is not sustainable. This would also create an unsafe environment

  regarding Life Safety and Fire Code Compliance issues.

  LRC will replace the existing  underwater 24-inch x 24-inch steel sluice gate with a new 24-inch x 24-inch steel

  sluice gate on the dam's dewatering tower.  Specific work items include:  mobilization to and from the work

  site, issue a dive team to plug the existing water intake, remove and dispose of the existing sluice gate and

  operator, furnish and install a new heavy duty sluice gate with cast iron frame and slide, bronze seating faces,

  bronze wedges, and stainless steel fasteners, install a new operator which includes a pedestal mounted hand

  wheel lift the Type 304 stainless steel stem and plastic stem cover with mylar position indicator.  Once the work

   is completed, they will clean up any debris and demobilize.   The new sluice gate has a 12-week lead time once

  the contract is executed because it will need to be fabricated from scratch.  Installation should only take a week

  once it arrives, but scheduling could be an issue at that time. 

 

  Emergency Criteria is proposed for this project due to the continuous loss of water and the potential damage to

  fishery habitat, and loss of wildlife, within Lake Le-Aqua-Na.  The current sluice gate is leaking an estimated

  36,000 gallons of water per hour.  Working underwater at 25 feet depths is a dangerous task.  There are only a

  few contractors within the State who perform these services.  We feel fortunate to be able to find a contractor

  who is already familiar with this project and is willing to perform the work for IDNR.  Lakes & Rivers

  Contracting is registered in Bid Buy and SAP.  They are also registered as an SBSA vendor.  Given the

  Emergency Criteria on this project, the Agency has identified Lakes & Rivers Contracting as best suited to

  expeditiously replace the failed sluice gate at the Lake Le-Aqua-Na dam.  

 

  This Emergency Purchase has an expected start date of 02/05/2024 through 05/04/2024 with an Original

  IDPH has diligently undertaken multiple avenues to identify potential vendors for temporary staffing needs.

  These efforts include thorough internet searches of various temporary staffing vendors, a comprehensive

  review of existing contracts, exploration of opportunities on BidBuy, and the addition of two new recruiters to

  the team. Despite these extensive measures, IDPH has encountered challenges in identifying a suitable vendor

  outside of the CDC Foundation.

 

 

 

This exhaustive search process underscores the unique challenges faced by IDPH in securing temporary

  staffing that aligns with the specific needs of IDPH. The specialized nature of the positions, coupled with the

  high standards required for public health roles, has presented difficulties in finding vendors who can fulfill these

  criteria.

 

 

 

IDPH reviewed the current master contracts available for staffing services within the state of Illinois. These

  contracts primarily focused on general administrative staffing rather than providing specialized professionals in

  the public health domain. This assessment revealed a gap in the availability of vendors specializing in public

  health-specific professionals. IDPH will procure a competitive procurement going forward.

 

 

 

The State of Illinois currently has staffing contracts with the following vendors. Central Illinois Staffing

  Services LLC, DBA Manpower. 24-416CMS-BOSS-P-56144, Rose International, Inc. 24-416CMS-BOSS4-P-

  The University had to terminate the agreement with our broker on November 30, 2023.  Since this was

  unexpected, we had less than a month to find a 2024 medical/dental plan for our employees.  Short-term

  coverage (e.g., 90 days) is not available as a group policy which is required of employers in order to comply

  with the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA). Short-term coverage does not offer a Minimum Essential Coverage

   (MEC) plan which is required by the ACA for group plans.  Otherwise, there are federal “Penalty A” penalties

  of approximately $86M annually for not being compliant.  Additionally, short-term coverage plans do not offer

  COBRA coverage, which is required by federal law. There are additional federal penalties for not offering

  COBRA coverage.

 

  We knew of one other broker familiar with the University's structure who had the ability to find a plan carrier

  and Third-Party Administrator (TPA).  That broker is Gallagher Benefits Services (GBS).  GBS works with

  Staff Benefits Management & Administrators (SBMA) which provides medical/dental plan coverage along with

  COBRA coverage.  SBMA was able to have an acceptable plan in place for our employees starting January 1,

  2024.  Both GBS and SBMA recommended GoWell Benefits, Inc. (GoWell) as the TPA. GoWell provides an

  online enrollment platform.  The University will pay SBMA for the services.  SBMA will distribute money to

  GBS and GoWell. The University is currently working on an RFP for a broker and carrier to provide services

  for the 2025 calendar year.

   

  This emergency posting updates and replaces the original posting published under 9DGS2405 to reflect the

  Agency is experiencing a vehicle shortage. Vehicles are need to conduct off-site inspections of the environment

  to ensure the health and safety of residents. These specific vehicles were chosen due to the Bureau of Air's

  requirements. Field staff often travel in large groups, so we need larger passenger capacity. The vehicles must

  also be equipped to travel on various types of terrain throughout the State while also sometimes towing trailers

  or boats. Due to the current vehicle market, it's extremely difficult to find vehicles that meet our needs. We have

   chosen this vendor because they currently have two vehicles that meet our needs.

  Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors, including supply chain shortages, obtaining vehicles is

  incredibly difficult for the State.  While there are vehicles on Joint Purchase Master Contract (JPMC), the

  contracted vendors are at the mercy of the auto manufacturers who are having difficulties in obtaining the parts

  and other materials to build the vehicles.  Prices have escalated dramatically, and manufacturers have canceled

  many of the State's large orders for model years 2021 - 2023 vehicles, forcing State agencies to re-order

  vehicles at the increased pricing for the new model year (2023).  In addition, the time that ordering windows for

   fleet vehicles are open have been decreased dramatically (some as little as two weeks for the entire 2023 model

  year) so State agencies cannot place orders against the JPMCs for the model year if the ordering window has

  opened and closed and must seek other means to procure the needed vehicles.

 

DCFS received authorization

  from CMS and the CPO’s State Purchasing Officer (SPO) to competitively procure vehicles.  DCFS used the

  same Invitation for Bid (IFB) template for all of its vehicle procurements and the IFB was reviewed and

  approved by the SPO and her Senior SPO.  DCFS successfully awarded and executed contracts for 7-

  Passenger Vans, Cargo Vans, and 2 Police Pursuit Vehicles for its Security Division.  The IFB (and rebid) for

  Mid-Size Sedans was not successful as DCFS did not receive any bids for sedans.  DCFS also conducted an

  initial IFB for Mid-Size SUVs, which did not receive any bids, and a subsequent IFB for Mid-Size SUVs (24-

  418DCFS-PROCU-B-40065), which was awarded to two bidders – 1 SUV to Bob Ridings Ford and 16 SUVs to

   Morrow Brothers Ford.  DCFS was contacted by the SPO after the award was posted and during the 14-day

  protest period and was instructed that DCFS would have to cancel the award and re-bid (or consider a quick

  purchase) because “Upon reviewing the Notice of Award and the Agency’s request for exemption to the

  Procurement Code it was discovered that the solicitation did not allow for pricing to be provided for vehicles

  other than gasoline in accordance with the Code.   Additionally, the pricing provided by the Vendors did not

  provide their pricing per vehicle and for 1 Vendor had alternates which would allow the Vendor to provide

  different vehicles at a different rate.”  The “exemption to the Procurement Code” noted by the SPO would allow

   DCFS to purchase gasoline vehicles and is requested on the Purchase of Motor Vehicles Exemption Request

  Form 30 ILCS 500/25-75.  Rather than conduct another IFB, DCFS has determined that it is in the best interest

  of the agency to purchase the needed vehicles and conduct a “quick purchase” or “spot market” purchase from

  Morrow Brothers Ford, who has the needed SUVs, and an additional 29 SUVs, which DCFS will use in the

  place of the Mid-Size Sedans for which it did not receive any bids, and is offering them to DCFS at the price

  that they bid on the last IFB.

 

DCFS is seeking to purchase 45 Mid-Size SUVs via the spot market.  Section

  20-30(d) of the Illinois Procurement Code and the CPO-GS Administrative Rules [44 Ill. Adm. Code 1.2030(c)]

  provide that the use of the Emergency method of source selection may be used to make a "quick purchase" in

  situations when "items are available on the spot market or at discounted prices for a limited time so that good

  business judgment mandates a "quick purchase" immediately to take advantage of the availability and price". 

  The emergency spot market method of procurement was chosen over a competitive solicitation because of the

  amount of time a competitive selection could take and given the current market environment, vehicle dealerships

   are unlikely to hold up to 40 vehicles on their lots without a guarantee of award.

 

In its IFBs, which were

  reviewed and approved by the SPO(s), DCFS gave preference to Flex-Fuel, Hybrid (HEV), and Plug-In Hybrid

  (PHEV) vehicles* offered by dealerships.  In the event the Agency's needs were not met with Flex-Fuel, Hybrid

  (HEV), and Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) vehicles, DCFS considered gasoline vehicles to cover the unmet needs.  As

  such, DCFS requested a Motor Vehicle Exemption from the Chief Procurement Officer per 30 ILCS 500/25-75.

    (*DCFS is not specifically requesting electric vehicles due to the limited network of charging stations

  Statewide currently.)

  This vendor has already been providing essential services to IL Lottery and to continue with the vendor would

  maintain the continuity of service the  vendor provides and leverages the testing and certification work that has

  already been done by the vendor.  The immediate testing that is required must be completed by a single vendor

  to avoid the potential cost of rework that would be necessary if using another vendor and also because a vendor

   must certify its own work.  The time sensitive nature of this procurement does not favor another method to be

  used.  This approach will allow for the most efficient and economical continuation of support and allows the

  Department to engage the vendor so the immediate-term testing and certification need can be met while our

  current RFP is close to being finalized.

 

  The vendor provides independent 3rd party Quality Assurance testing and certification services for its

  outsourced gaming systems to facilitate the current system change requirements.  The vendor will assist with

  the development, assessment and implementation of Lottery’s outsourced systems.  The vendor will also

  provide system certification services to ensure Lottery outsourced systems are fit for purpose.  The services

  will enable short term state managed independent testing of planned system modifications associated with game

  enhancements and revisions.

  Due to unusually cold weather,sprinkler pipes at the Department of Natural Resources’World Recreational &

  Shooting Complex (WRSC), froze and burst causing extensive damage to the sprinkler system.The extent of the

   damage is unknown the system control panel simultaneously failed.Without a replacement control panel,the

  extent of the frozen pipe damage can not be determined (as the water valve to the fire control system has been

  turned off and the system can not be pressurized to help with an investigation).WRSC have already procured the

   replacement control panel (not part of this emergency purchase) but there are industry standard long lead times

  on control panels (this is universal for all manufacturers due to COVID-19-related delays,demand,and backlog

  of orders).

 

  This procurement meets all four (4) criteria regarding emergency procurements.The failed sprinkler system is a

  threat to public health and safety;without a properly functioning sprinkler system,the Public utilizing the popular

  site are at risk.Furthermore,significant amounts of firearm ammunition is stored at the site,there is a popular

  restaurant on-site,and the site is host to several internationalscale shooting events (and is utilized for smaller

  events throughout the year).Immediate expenditure is required to ensure that the

  Public is not at risk (Illinois Procurement Code - 30 ILCS 500/20-30 Criteria A). While a fire would cause

  catastrophic damage and loss to the State,the WRSC could also be closed due to lack of Occupancy by the Fire

  Marshall (without a functional fire suppression system,the site could be closed). Closure of the WRSC would

  affect multiple Concession Agreements and the Concessionaires,if unable to operate,

  may withdraw from the Agreements. Immediate expenditure is necessary for repairs to the State property in

  order to protect against further loss or damage both from loss of or damage to State properties but also risk

  collection of substantial State revenues associated from breached Agreements (Illinois Procurement Code - 30

  ILCS 500/20-30 Criteria B &C).Lastly,critical state records are stored at the

  site;immediate expenditure is required to ensure integrity of State records (Illinois Procurement Code- 30 ILCS

  500/20-30 Criteria D).

 

  The site currently does not have an active fire suppression system due to the failed sprinkler pipes.Once the

  control panel is installed, the Agency will proceed with Kane Fire Protection (Kane) to pressure test the

  system,identify failed pipes, repair or replacethe failed pipes,and ensure that pipes are insulated (or otherwise

  protected) from future freeze events.Kane has experience with the WRSC, additional experience at other State

  properties in DNR Region #5,is located in close proximity to the project site,and can most swiftly mobilize to

  resolve the Emergency Criteria.Kane is registered in Bid Buy.

 

  The Agency will be requiring the following tasks associated with this emergency procurement:

  - Investigation of failed sprinkler pipes (including pressure testing and physical inspection)

  - Repairs & Replacement of failed sprinkler pipes at Ammunition Building,Vendor Mall, Vendor Barns,and Main

  Event Building.

  - Installation of protection in breezeways and locations where failed pipes are repaired / replaced to prevent

  future failures due to freezing weather.

 

  There are two Contractor/Vendor commodity areas of expertise for this project-the first for the fire suppression

   system control panel that has failed (34-016) and the second for the fire sprinkler systems that have failed (93-

  633). A search of the Illinois Procurement Gateway for BEP firms by these NIGP Code show that no BEP firms

  firm for the two NIGP codes was Commercial Electric,inc.out of MattoonIL (153 miles from the World

  Shooting & Recreation Complex). Given the Emergency Criteria and risks associated with long response

  times,the Agency selected Kane Fire Protection (V00003599) out of Alton,IL;while this firm does not meet BEP

  requirements,proximity to the project site,familiarity with the World Shooting & Recreation Complex, and

  experience with other State systems in the area,were deemed to be critical factors in cotractor selection.

  Using both Federal & State Funds

 

 

  HFS relies on the annual revenue of $2.4 billion (approximately $200 million per month) generated by the Drug

  Rebate program through collected rebates, which is crucial to funding many of the State's Medicaid programs.

  The Agency requires a vendor to provide claims reimbursement to receive payment for the appropriate state and

   federal rebate amounts. This process ensures that customers can access all necessary life-saving medications,

  maintenance medications, over-the-counter drugs, and vaccines. To meet these requirements, HFS needs a

  Pharmacy Benefit Management System (PBMS) to process and adjudicate pharmacy claims, complying with

  Federal Regulations, Illinois Statutes, associated Illinois Administrative Rules, and policies set by State and

  Federal Governments. Pharmacies also rely on this PBMS to submit pharmacy claims for payment. The PBMS

  facilitates prior authorizations, which are essential for the health and safety of approximately 3.9 million Illinois

  Medicaid customers. The PBMS enables the management of a Preferred Drug List (PDL), which would not be

  enforceable without a functional PBMS to monitor and edit claims. The current system interfaces with the

  provider enrollment system, eligibility systems, and the legacy MMIS system.  Additionally, technical services

  are necessary during the contract to allow for programmatic changes/additions which may arise during the

  contract period and to ensure a smooth transition of data to a newly awarded Vendor.

 

 

 

The absence of a PBMS /Vendor would result in a catastrophic failure of HFS' ability to process and

  adjudicate pharmacy claims. This would have dire consequences for over 3.9 million Illinois Medicaid

  customers, as they would be unable to access essential medications, maintenance drugs, over-the-counter

  medicines, or vaccines, putting their health, life and safety at significant risk. Furthermore, pharmacies would be

   unable to submit pharmacy claims for payment. The impact on life and health, combined with the long-term

  ramifications of a failed PBMS, cannot be underestimated. The State of Illinois Medicaid program primarily

  serves the most vulnerable citizens of the state, and depriving them of access to healthcare could lead to severe

  illnesses, injuries, and even fatalities. The absence of a functional PBMS not only endangers the Pharmacy

  program and its beneficiaries but also directly impacts the funding of various other programs within HFS. The

  Drug Rebate program alone generates over $2.4 billion ($200 million monthly) in revenue, which plays a crucial

  role in funding the state's Medicaid programs. Additionally, there is a need for transition services to migrate

  historical data from the current system to the new one and to facilitate the closure of the existing contract.

  Support services with the current file formats will be essential to bridge the gap between the current contract

  and the contract with the newly procured vendor.

 

  This Emergency Purchase has an expected start date of 03/17/2024 through 06/15/2024 with an Original

  Estimated Cost of $1,512,162.00, using both Federal & State Funds.

  This vendor is already set up to receive the Emergency Alerts from JULIE/ DIGGER (Chicago) on behalf of the

  Due to the auto workers strike the window to order new model year 2024 vehicles was closed.  The next

  ordering window for Model year 2025 was not firmly determined but expected to be late in the first quarter of

  2024 with production lead times extending into months after the purchase.  Due to budgetary issues the

  University is not able to purchase the vehicles outright but has available funds to finance a lease option.  A state

  contract is active with Sutton Brothers, a BEP vendor,  and when contacted they advised they had no vehicles

  available and not accepting any new model year 2024 purchases.  Morrow Brothers Ford was also contacted

  and they had no vehicles available.  Bob Ridings , a Ford dealer, has stock available to meet our needs.  As a

  result, the University must pursue an emergency quick purchase to secure the available inventory.

  IEPA has had contract with Heritage Environmental Services, LLC (Heritage) for these services for several

  years. The contract expired 12/31/23. IEPA was unable to renew the contract due to Heritage's failure to meet

  the BEP goal on the contract. IEPA had tried to competitively procure a new multi-year contract for these

  services, but the procurement was unable to be completed in time. Given that Heritage was the incumbent

  vendor and IEPA is pursuing a new multi-year contract, it is best to keep continuity of the services at this time.

  If IEPA were to switch vendors for this emergency and then potentially switch vendors again at the conclusion

  of the competitive procurement, it would cause multiple changes in services for our long term facility partners

  and the public taking advantage of these services. It is imperative that the long term hazardous waste collection

  program maintains the standard functionality during this stop gap period and eliminate a transition period so that

  the program and participation does not decline.

 

  Section 22.16b(d) of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act mandates that IEPA establish household

  hazardous waste collections in appropriate places in the State to ensure that said wastes collected are properly

  disposed of, and authorizes the IEPA to contract with other parties for that purpose. IEPA currently has five

  Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) with cities/counties who serve as the long term collection sites for

  household hazardous wastes. This emergency contract will ensure that IEPA fulfills the mandate under the

  Illinois Environmental Protection Act as well as fulfill our responsibilities in the IGAs with the long term

  collection sites.

 

Heritage will implement various packing, pick-up, disposal, and training services in

  connection with IEPA's long-term Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection program.

  - Vendor will

  assist in planning and development of sites for use as long-term HHW collection stations

  The Department currently has a Sole Source contract with AT&T Corp until 12/09/22.  AT&T has developed a

  significant infrastructure of services provided to the state and other agencies.  The Department currently has

  these services with AT&T at a reduced cost.  At this time, AT&T is the only known vendor that can provide

  this wide array of services statewide without significant down time.    Due to significant delays processing a

  new SEFS procurement to replace the expiring contract, the Department is forced to pivot and request an

  emergency to ensure uninterrupted services continue for thousands of state employees, offices, and schools

  around the state.  This contract provides roughly 90% of the state network connectivity and is vital to daily

  operations for hundreds of agencies and schools.  The Department currently has a RFP on the street for a new

  10 year contract for these services which closes 12/15.  We will not be able to award this contract in time, nor

  is there sufficient time for any potential transition to a new provider.  This emergency contract will be a JPMC

  available for use by all state agencies, other governmental entities, and not-for-profits.

 

  The Department requires services which fulfill the State’s private telecommunications network voice and data

  services required to perform our critical mission.  The scope of services covered is wide-ranging services

  (Transport services, Private Fiber, Internet  Egress, Local Voice, Long Distance, Conferencing and Other

  Services) which will enable governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies to purchase

  telecommunications services, some directly from the resulting contract and some through the DoIT, as to be

  specified in the resulting contract.

 

  This Emergency Purchase has an expected start date of 12/10/2022 through 03/09/2023 with an Original

  Estimated Cost of $3,000,000.00.
