The site visit will be conducted at the Michael A. Bilandic Building, with Magdalena Toussaint serving as the location contact (magdalena.k.toussaint@illinois.gov).

Prospective offerors should be aware of specific requirements for the walk through, including the requirement to present formal identification upon request and the prohibition against representing more than one company during the site visit.
