Unless otherwise specified, the proposed equipment shall be complete in all parts and ready for immediate use upon delivery.

Proposed with this Bid:

The Illinois Department of Transportation reserves the right to waive minor informalities, deficiencies or technical variances which by their nature are restrictive to a given manufacturer, if in its’ judgement, it would be in the best interest of the State to do so and it would not prejudice the rights of other bidders.

Serviceability will be a factor in award. Successful bidder shall either be able to provide service after purchase or shall indicate other qualified service facilities able to service equipment, within a reasonable period of time at agency locations. Bidder shall provide documentation and enumerating service locations. A Review of the bidder's ability to provide prompt parts and service to the State of Illinois and in particular to the delivery location, will be considered in determining award.

Bids will only be accepted from established manufacturers or their authorized dealers. Any dealer submitting a bid hereby guarantees that it is an authorized dealer of the manufacturer and that the manufacturer has agreed to supply the dealer with all quantities of products required by the dealer in fulfillment of its obligations under any resultant contract with the State. Bidder must submit authorized dealer letter upon request.

Warranty:

Unless otherwise specified, Manufacturers’ standard warranty shall be provided. Bidder shall attach copies of warranty with bid. Warranty shall commence at the Illinois Department of Transportation in-service date. If any equipment fails to conform to the warranties during the applicable warranty period, the Vendor or Manufacturer will adjust, repair or replace the equipment at no charge to the Department as soon as possible upon notice from the Department. Equipment shall be repaired on-site and will be performed at no additional cost to the Department.

The Vendor may provide or perform warranty service at a dealer location within the Districts geographic region if on-site repair is not possible. Vendor shall facilitate pickup and delivery of equipment at Vendor's cost if warranty repair(s) are made off-site during the warranty period. The contract Vendor is responsible for any failure of their allied or sub-contractors’ fulfillment of said warranties. Failure to provide this service shall result in a “Complaint to Vendor” that could affect future bid awards.

Delivery:

It will be the responsibility of the successful vendor to guarantee delivery within the quoted time and to require allied manufacturers or suppliers to complete the installation of auxiliary equipment in accordance with the quoted delivery time.

Failure to comply with the quoted delivery time because of delays resulting from the inability of suppliers of allied equipment such as bodies, snowplows, spreaders, etc., may be reason to refuse to consider similar items from those suppliers on future bids.

All equipment provided by the Vendor and the sub-contractor(s) shall be fully operational when delivery is made. Any noted defects at the time of delivery shall be addressed by Vendor in the first 30 days of in-service.
