About this file

This Addendum #2 document provides clarifications and updates to Illinois Tollway's Invitation for Bid (IFB) 24-0144RR for overhead crane inspections and repairs. The solicitation addresses bidding requirements, registration mandates, and technical specifications for the inspection and maintenance of 14 overhead and jib cranes (ranging from 2.5 to 7.5 tons capacity) located across multiple ISTHA facilities system-wide. The bid opening date has been rescheduled as published in BidBuy, and participants may join electronically via Microsoft Teams using the provided meeting credentials. The addendum clarifies that prospective bidders must obtain a lift independently, as the Illinois Tollway does not provide this equipment; bridge cranes are positioned 27 feet off the deck while jib cranes are 20 feet off the deck, both requiring lift access for proper inspection.

The addendum establishes critical compliance requirements for bidders, including mandatory registration with the Illinois State Board of Elections for any vendor with bids or contracts exceeding $50,000, registration with the Illinois Secretary of State prior to contract execution, and an IDHR number for firms with 15 or more employees. Additionally, bidders must complete both a Business Enterprise Program (BEP) Utilization Plan targeting 5% participation and a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VET) Utilization Plan targeting 1% participation, with forms available in the BidBuy Attachments Tab. These requirements supersede any previous specifications and are incorporated into the final IFB specifications per Addendum #2.
