Summary: The contract was drafted to adhere to the narrow federal guidance regarding the expenditure of Coronavirus Relief Funds by the County. As the federal guidance on the expenditure of funds evolved and expanded, the County was able to develop and implement additional Coronavirus Funding Relief Programs that were not anticipated at the inception of the contract. The programs related to economic development and also include the allotment and disbursement of funds to townships, fire protection districts, libraries and the Forest Preserves. As a result of adding more programs to the Coronavirus Funding Relief Program, the work produced by the vendor significantly increased.
The original contract was awarded through emergency procurement process in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code.
