Description

This emergency procurement seeks to lease approximately 305.8 acres of farmland at Menard Correctional Center for agricultural purposes only. The land (tracts 10327 & 10328) will be used under a no‑cost/revenue‑generating contract per Illinois law. The solicitation is open‑market and informal, with an “OPEN” bid type, but electronic quotes are not allowed. The buyer is the Department of Corrections, and the point of contact is Sandy Robinson. • Lease of ~306 acres at Menard Correctional Center (Randolph County) for farming. • Intended use: agricultural production (soybean farming per NIGP 944‑76). • Emergency notice; not a standard competitive bidding process; no electronic quoting. • Contact: Sandy Robinson, [email protected], (217) 524‑8383. • No explicit budget or award date; deadline is indicated only as a relative countdown.

Budget estimate

$30,000 – $60,000

Because the solicitation does not disclose a contract value, we estimate based on typical Illinois farm‑land lease rates (~$150‑$200 per acre per year). For ~306 acres, annual lease revenue would range roughly $45,000–$61,000. Assuming a one‑year lease term, the budget to the contractor would likely fall between $30,000 and $60,000 after accounting for administrative fees and potential cost‑share arrangements.
