Bid amendment 1 - 53931.docx

This is a bid amendment issued by the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) for Bid #27-426DOC-MUDDY-B-53931 regarding the rental of a trash compactor at Big Muddy River Correctional Center. The amendment serves as IDOC's official response to a vendor question concerning the mechanical specifications of the required compactor. The procurement seeks a 30-yard self-contained trash compactor unit, including set-up and removal services upon contract completion. In response to vendor inquiries about the compactor's feeding mechanism and power requirements, IDOC confirmed that the current facility compactor operates on 3-phase power and clarified the feeding configuration through attached photographic documentation.

The amendment provides essential technical specifications to ensure vendor compliance with existing facility infrastructure and operational requirements. This response addresses critical factors that bidders must account for when designing their rental proposals, specifically the power supply compatibility and the physical feeding method of the compactor unit. The clarification on these specifications enables vendors to submit accurate bids that align with Big Muddy River Correctional Center's operational capabilities and space constraints.
