5826LOC018 Amendment 1 - Response to Vendor Question- Dixon CC Cable Project B-50905.pdf

This is an Amendment 1 document issued by the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) in response to vendor questions regarding the Dixon Correctional Center Housing Unit Cable Repair Project, Bid #26-426 (B-50905). The project involves the purchase and installation of television cable and fiber optic lines with amplifiers to provide cable television reception in 22 housing units. The bid opening date is scheduled for February 19, 2026, at 1:00 p.m.

The amendment clarifies a critical contracting requirement: subcontractors are not permitted for this project, as stated in Section 1.6 of the contract. This restriction applies regardless of the scope of work, meaning vendors must perform the work in-house rather than utilizing subcontractors on a full or partial basis. This represents an important condition for potential bidders to understand when preparing their proposals and assembling project teams.
