ALPLM - Citizen City Exhibit Sliding Glass Doors - Emergency Purchase

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM), a state agency located in Springfield, Illinois, issued this small purchase with emergency conditions for the procurement and installation of automatic sliding glass doors for its new Citizen City children's gallery. The primary deliverable consists of motion-sensor-operated bi-parting automatic sliding doors measuring 145" x 90" with clear tempered glass and anodized finish, specified as Stanley Dura Glide 3000 Series or equivalent, designed to accommodate stroller and wheelchair access. The scope of work includes widening the current opening, cutting and refinishing the rough opening, and installing the doors with proper framing and hardware. Qualified vendors must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience cutting, refinishing, and installing glass sliding doors and must submit detailed quotes broken down by lead time, total parts costs (including doors, frames, hardware, glass, glazing, and caulking), and labor costs calculated at prevailing wage rates established by the Illinois Department of Labor. All quoted prices must remain valid for 90 days from submission and include shipping and handling charges. The mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on April 1, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., with the original bid closing date of April 8, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., though this opportunity was reposted with a new due date of April 30, 2026. Vendors must provide a one-year parts and labor warranty and complete all work during normal business hours (7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday).

This procurement does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though vendors awarded contracts of $1,000 or more must complete a $15 minority contractor initiative fee if applicable. Vendors must register with the State Comptroller to receive payment and comply with prevailing wage requirements as determined by the Illinois Department of Labor. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are noted in the solicitation materials. Insurance requirements include commercial general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence with $2,000,000 annual aggregate, auto liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and workers' compensation insurance as required by law. Vendors must obtain prior written approval for any subcontractors and are prohibited from assigning or transferring the contract without written State consent. The specific contract award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available solicitation documents; however, if the quote total exceeds $50,000, vendors must complete either Form A or Form B depending on Illinois Procurement Gateway registration status. ALPLM reserves the right to reject all offers or award by item or portion thereof, and the State retains the right to terminate the contract for convenience with thirty days' notice.
