26-444DHS-DEVDI-B-53137 | NOT A BIDDING OPPORTUNITY Emergency Notice FY26 Shapiro Chiller Rental Unit 514

This emergency procurement, identified by solicitation number B-53137, covers the rental, delivery, and installation of a temporary HVAC chiller unit for Building 514 at the DHS Shapiro Center in Kankakee, Illinois. The action was necessitated by the failure of the permanent HVAC chiller, which was deemed inoperable and irreparable, creating an urgent need to maintain safe environment temperatures for residents. The contract was awarded to Reicher Industries, a Master Contract vendor with prior experience at the facility, for an estimated amount of 103,020.00 dollars. The procurement was conducted as a small business set-aside under the Small Business Set Aside Program, pursuant to 30 ILCS 500/20-30 and 44 Ill. Adm. Code 1.2030. Because the award was made under emergency authority, the selection was based on the vendor's qualifications and pricing consistent with master contract rates. The temporary unit will remain in place until a permanent replacement can be installed, and the agency is required to submit an Emergency Final Cost form following the expenditure.
