Old State Capitol Parking Garage - Emergency Extension 4

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR), through its Office of Realty and Capital Planning, is soliciting bids for an emergency extension of the concession to operate the Old State Capitol Parking Garage. This is the fourth emergency extension (Emergency Extension 4) being requested. The primary purpose of this Request for Proposal (RFP), identified as number 25-422DNR-REALT-B-46242, is to secure continued operation of the parking garage until the IDNR can assume operational control itself. This implies a need to bridge a gap in service provision due to unforeseen circumstances, as evidenced by the "Emergency Extension" designation and attached "CPO approval OSCPG emergency purchase extension.pdf". Key requirements, based on the limited information available, include the ability to immediately (or near-immediately) take over and maintain parking garage operations. The RFP designates this as an emergency purchase and an open market purchase method. The solicitation is designated as an informal bid with electronic quotes allowed. The deadline for responses is October 31, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Interested parties should contact Frederick Murphy at (217)782-5707 for further information. The notice mentions this being a notice of an emergency contract extension until IDNR can operate the site itself.
