AGR-B&G-Cooler Tower Repair

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Agriculture, is procuring emergency repairs to the cooling tower water line at the AGR Block Building in St. Clair County. The vendor must excavate and repair a leaking chilled water supply and return pipe in the basement of the building, providing all necessary labor, materials, tools, and equipment. The vendor must be licensed, certified, and insured to perform the required excavation and piping repair services. The contract term is three months, with no renewal options, and the pricing is estimated, with no allowance for expenses. Subcontractors are not permitted for this project, and the vendor must follow all relevant Illinois Department of Labor, OSHA, MSHA, and federal/state laws, standards, and codes. The work must be performed during normal business hours unless approved by the Building and Grounds Manager, and the vendor must inform the agency if any additional services or commodities are required once the initial excavation is completed.

The contract opportunity is designated as a small purchase with emergency conditions, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current contractor for this work is E.L. Pruitt, who has submitted an emergency quote of $16,000.00 for the project. The contract budget and award value are not explicitly stated, but the emergency nature of the work suggests a limited funding source and a focus on expediting the repairs.
