Summary: Cook County Department of Revenue’s Wheel Tax generates approximately $4,000,000 annually by issuing decals and tags for vehicles in unincorporated Cook County. On 11/20/14 the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer (OCPO) issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a comprehensive solution that would have incorporated these services. DOR was unable to make a recommendation of award. We are requesting an extension and increase for the current contract to complete the upcoming 2015-2016 annual Wheel Tax renewal cycle in order to issue decals and tags by 7/1/2015. This extension will allow DOR an opportunity to work with the OCPO to complete a new competitive solicitation. This contract was originally awarded as a Sole Source procurement pursuant to Section 34-139 of the Cook County Procurement Code.
