13ft box truck with lift and install

The State of Illinois, specifically the Quincy Illinois Veterans Home in Adams County, is seeking a procurement for a 13-foot box truck with a lift gate to be installed on a 2026 Ford F-350 vehicle. The contract requires a vendor to supply and professionally install a cargo box with specific technical specifications, including a plywood-lined interior with stainless-steel wraparound, cargo lock rails, a rear bumper, interior lighting, aluminum flooring, and a roll-up rear door. The lift gate must have an aluminum platform measuring 78 inches by 41 inches, a lifting capacity of at least 2,500 pounds, and include features such as fixed sidesteps, split cart stop, and dual control operation. Vendor qualifications include certified welders, demonstrated installation experience with commercial vehicles, and compliance with all federal, state, and industry safety standards. The procurement timeline requires the vendor to order the lift gate within ten calendar days of notification, schedule installation within thirty calendar days of lift gate delivery, and complete all work within twenty-one calendar days from delivery. The contract opportunity was posted on October 10, 2025, with proposals due by October 17, 2025.

The contract does not explicitly designate set-aside preferences for disadvantaged businesses, though standard Illinois procurement regulations typically encourage minority and small business participation. The vendor must maintain specific insurance coverages, including $1,000,000 in General Commercial Liability, $1,000,000 in Auto Liability, and Workers' Compensation Insurance as required by law. Subcontractors with annual contract values exceeding $100,000 will require prior written approval and must complete Illinois Standard Certifications. The contract term runs from the last dated signature through June 30, 2026, with potential renewals. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the document indicates that the total maximum amount will be entered by the State prior to contract execution. The procurement is for the Quincy Illinois Veterans Home, located at 1707 North 12th Street, Quincy, IL 62301, with all delivery and installation logistics to be managed by the awarded vendor, including pickup from Springfield, Illinois, and delivery to the final destination.
