About this file
This document is Addendum #2 for Invitation for Bid (IFB) 22-0108 for Window Washing Services issued by the Illinois Tollway, located in Downers Grove, Illinois. The addendum provides clarifications and answers to vendor questions regarding a window washing contract for the Central Administration building. The services include cleaning both exterior and interior windows, doors, transoms, side plates, spandrel glass, and stainless steel surfaces across multiple building areas. The contract is set for an initial two-year term from January 5, 2026, to January 4, 2028, with a potential two-year renewal option through January 4, 2030. Services are to be performed twice annually in early spring and late fall, with specific cleaning requirements and timing restrictions.
The addendum addresses several critical operational details, including weight capacity limitations for freight elevators and main floors (not to exceed 5,000 lbs), interior window cleaning during normal business hours, and specific quality standards requiring windows to be cleaned "like new." Subcontractor utilization is limited, with vendors prohibited from using subcontractors for 100% of the contract value. The procurement will be conducted electronically through the BidBuy platform, with bids remaining valid for 180 days and award made to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder. While no specific contract value is mentioned, the solicitation includes comprehensive insurance requirements and mandates use of cleaning solutions that do not damage building surfaces or emit strong chemical odors.
