AGR - DQSF - B&G - Power Harrow

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Agriculture, is seeking bids for the procurement of a Maschio Dominator Power Harrow and related accessories. The equipment will be primarily used on the wet, sticky clay-based racing surface and sand mix in the horse arena at the Du Quoin State Fair. The agency is looking for delivery of the equipment within 120 days after receipt of the order, with the contract term running through December 31, 2021, with no renewal options. The pricing for the power harrow and accessories must be F.O.B. destination, with all transportation and handling costs included in the unit price. The agency intends to award the contract to an established manufacturer or authorized dealer, and the successful vendor must certify that parts and service for the equipment are readily available within the state of Illinois.

The procurement has been designated for a Small Business Set-Aside (SBSP), but the agency is seeking a waiver to award the contract to a non-SBSP vendor. The estimated value of the procurement is $32,000, and the procurement method is classified as a small purchase. All submissions must be made electronically via email or BidBuy, as manual paper submissions will not be accepted.
