        "text": "Poch, J.\nThis cause comes before the Court on a joint stipulation submitted by the parties hereto. The parties have agreed to an entry of an award in the amount of $6,181.27. We concur.\nClaimant, John D. Simpson Construction Company, was hired by the State of Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to repair the McDonough Street Bridge and bridgehouse (bridge) in Joliet, Illinois.\nThe bridge had been damaged on April 9, 1976, to such an extent that it was unusable by vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In addition, the movement of river traffic was impaired.\nBecause of the emergency nature of the repairs, a contract was let to Claimant under exemption (3) of section 6 of the Illinois Purchasing Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 127, par. 132.6). Thereunder, IDOT was not required to let the job out under competitive bidding procedures.\nAt the time of Claimant\u2019s contract, it was estimated that repair costs would be. around $65,000.00. The total cost of repair however was $71,759.07. IDOT has paid $65,577.80 to Claimant, leaving a balance due of $6,181.27.\nWhen payment was not forthcoming, Claimant filed this action against the State which after amendment sought the sum of $9,556.13 representing the balance of the repair costs plus interest.\nIDOT has reviewed the additional costs incurred by Claimant in its repair and has found them to be fair and reasonable.\nIn agreeing to the stipulated award, the Claimant has waived its rights to any interest attributable to IDOT\u2019s failure to pay the balance of the repair costs.\nThe Court having reviewed the stipulation together with the supporting documentation attached thereto agrees that an award should be entered.\nIt is hereby ordered that an award of $6,181.27 (six thousand one hundred eighty one dollars and twenty seven cents) be, and the same hereby is, entered on behalf of John D. Simpson Construction Company in full and final satisfaction of any and all claims which are the subject matter of the complaint herein.",
