This is a Questions and Answers document issued by the Illinois Tollway on January 13, 2026, regarding Small Purchase 25-0143 for AAON Replacement Parts (BidBuy Reference # B-49755). The document addresses clarifications on the Request for Quote (RFQ) related to HVAC replacement parts procurement. The Q&A does not modify the original RFQ terms and conditions. Key clarifications include confirmation that vendor and staff specifications outlined in Section 1.3 of the RFQ apply to the prime bidder rather than subcontractors, and that work surface tops should be provided in laminate rather than veneer format.

The document provides technical specifications regarding material preferences for the AAON replacement parts being procured. The Illinois Tollway's stated preference for laminate work surfaces indicates product quality and finish specifications relevant to the competitive bidding process. No pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractor details, or specific funding amounts are addressed in this Q&A document, as it serves primarily to clarify contractual requirements and product specifications for prospective bidders.
