Complete replacement of hydraulic lines on the front-end loader of the kubota tractor

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Physical Services (PHYSERV350), awarded a contract to Sievers Equipment Co on August 27, 2026, under an Open Market Small Purchase procurement vehicle. The contract, valued at $5,466.00, covers the complete replacement of hydraulic lines on the front-end loader attachment of a Kubota tractor designated 3PS. The period of performance extends from the award date through September 30, 2026. Delivery and performance will take place at the Department of Physical Services Offices & Warehouse located at 3701 Winchester Road, Springfield, Illinois.

The scope of work encompasses both parts and labor for the hydraulic system replacement, including hydraulic components, o-rings, bolts, washers, pipes, clamps, filters, and associated service labor. The award was justified as a sole source procurement citing the difficulty in locating parts for the aging equipment and Sievers Equipment Co's status as the authorized Kubota certified mechanic in the area with immediate availability of required parts. The vendor quote was valid through September 14, 2026, with pricing subject to adjustment based on machine condition assessment during performance.
