About this file

This document contains vendor instructions for submitting a response to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the State of Illinois. The instructions cover the various tabs that vendors must complete when submitting a quote, including the General, Items, Terms and Conditions, Attachments, and Summary tabs. Key details include the requirement to follow pricing instructions, the prohibition on including cost or pricing information in the Alternate Description field, and the need to mark whether attachments contain pricing information. The instructions also note that paper submittals will not be accepted due to the COVID-19 emergency, and provide a link to a tutorial video.

The related state and local contract opportunity is for a Vehicles Emissions Testing program in Illinois. However, this opportunity is not currently open for vendors to bid, as it was previously cancelled by mistake and is now a closed procurement.

Vendor Instruction - Request for Proposal (RFP) Create quote:

General Tab
: Save and Continue
Items Tab
Follow instructions in the Pricing section of the solicitation document as to whether pricing will be entered in the Unit Cost of the Items Tab or submitted as a separate Pricing Document in the Attachments Tab.

Note: any pricing entered in the Unit Cost of the Items Tab will be locked until after Technical Evaluations take place. Do not enter cost, pricing, or any discount information in the Alternate Description field. Entering cost, pricing or discount information in the Alternate Description may result in disqualification.

Terms and Conditions Tab
: Select “Yes”, “No”, or “Yes with Exceptions”

Note: If taking any exceptions, please list exceptions in the Technical Proposal.

Attachments Tab
For each required quote attachment listed:

: “Upload” (next to each required attachment) : “Choose File” Note: If a pricing document is required, mark the box next to the question, “Does this Attachment contain any pricing, cost, or discount information?”

Failure to mark this box when attaching a pricing document may result in disqualification.

Check this box ONLY if a separate pricing document is required.

Do NOT check this box for any other required quote attachment such as the Technical Proposal, Forms A/Forms B, BEP Utilization Plan, or Offer.

Summary Tab
: “Submit Quote”

Documents shall be submitted in an electronic format that is accessible and readable using Microsoft Office suite software or Adobe Reader. Corrupted files shall not be considered. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to check that files are accessible and legible after uploading.

File size may impact the uploading and downloading speed and may lead to browser time-outs resulting in failed upload/download attempts. Please consider this dependency when attaching very large documents.

Due to the COVID-19 emergency declaration, closure of many State Buildings and escalated health concerns, paper submittals will not be accepted. For further information please see CPO Notice 2020.06 here: CPO Notice 2020.06 Procurement and Electronic Submission.pdf
