This is a Site Visit Walk Through Meeting Information document related to an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Vehicle Hoist Inspection and Repairs Services issued by the Illinois Tollway (ISTHA). The document provides details regarding a site visit and walk-through meeting scheduled for prospective bidders to familiarize themselves with the facilities and equipment that will be subject to inspection and repair services. The meeting is designed to allow bidders to assess the scope of work, understand the condition of existing vehicle hoists, and gather necessary information to prepare accurate bids. All questions pertaining to the solicitation must be submitted electronically to the designated Information Contact no later than 2:30 PM on July 24, 2026. Electronic submissions are mandatory per CPO Notice 2023.12, and paper responses will not be accepted.

The document establishes procedural requirements for bidder participation and emphasizes the importance of the site visit for bidders to conduct due diligence before submitting their proposals. Attendance at the walk-through meeting is typically recommended or may be required to ensure bidders have complete knowledge of the work requirements and facility conditions. This approach allows ISTHA to establish a transparent bidding process and ensures all potential vendors have equal access to critical project information necessary for competitive and realistic bid submissions.
