This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) document from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) for emergency repair services at Wayne Fitzgerrell State Recreation Area in Franklin County, Illinois. The procurement seeks qualified contractors to repair four lift stations located at the site residence, beach, main location, and campground. The scope of work involves repair and potential replacement of sewage pump equipment, specifically Crane Company Series 4SE-L submersible non-clog sewage pumps ranging from 1.9 to 15.0 horsepower, with 5 HP and 15 HP units identified for the project. All bids must be submitted electronically through BidBuy by April 19, 2026, and must remain firm for 90 days from opening. Written questions must be submitted within five days of bid opening. Bidders are required to submit vendor disclosure forms or proof of active registration with the Illinois Procurement Gateway, offers to the State of Illinois, and applicable Business Enterprise Program or Veterans Small Business Program utilization plans.

The State will evaluate bids based on responsibility, responsiveness, and price, with contract award going to the lowest priced responsive and responsible bidder. A $15 administrative fee applies to all awarded contracts valued at $1,000 or more and will be deducted from the first payment. The procurement may qualify for disadvantaged enterprise participation and Veterans Small Business Program set-asides, with bidders required to comply with all vendor requirements and register with applicable state set-aside programs if applicable. Contractors must accommodate existing electrical configurations (230V, 200-230V, 460V, and 575V options), control panel specifications, and equipment accessories including check valves and seal kits. While specific contract value or budget range information is not disclosed in the available documents, the emergency nature of the project and four-station scope suggests a substantial procurement. The contract may be partially or wholly funded with federal funds, with specific funding percentages to be disclosed upon award notification.
