for proposals related to its plan by January 1, 2023.
    The described plan shall also contain a timeline of
actions including the issuance of a request for proposals by
January 1, 2023. The plan shall include procurement of
services, technology, equipment, and other elements necessary
to replace the former vehicle testing lanes and shall state
whether the replacement stations in the City of Chicago will
utilize permanent self-service kiosks or other services. The
plan shall also include the Agency's strategy of how best to
inform people of the location and hours of operation of the new
official inspection stations and conduct an informational
campaign.
    Any contracts awarded as a result of this plan shall
adhere to all State procurement requirements. The State shall
consider contracting with minority-owned businesses as defined
in Section 2 of the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women,
and Persons with Disabilities Act.
