ALPLM - Window Cleaning for ALPLM Facilities

The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum (ALPLM) in Springfield, Illinois is requesting quotes for interior and exterior window cleaning services across five facilities—the ALP Museum, ALP Library, Bridge, Parking Garage, and Union Station—with quotes due June 17, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on June 10 at 2:00 p.m. at the ALP Library. This is a Small Business Set Aside (SBSA) exclusive to vendors registered with the State of Illinois; only SBSA-certified vendors are eligible.

The contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Windows on all levels except the lowest must be cleaned a minimum of two times during the contract term. Scope includes rotunda areas, executive office levels, and accessible exterior surfaces at each location. All quoted prices must include shipping and handling. Prevailing wage compliance is mandatory; vendors must pay employees prevailing wages as determined by the Illinois Department of Labor in the window washing category.

Awardee will be the lowest-priced vendor meeting minimum requirements and specifications. The State reserves the right to reject all offers or individual offers and may award by item, group of items, or total. Performance shall not interfere with State operations and personnel; hours are designated by the State.

Awardee must maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, auto liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and worker's compensation insurance as required by law, naming the State as additionally insured. Contracts of $1,000 or more incur a $15 fee to the Comptroller's Administrative Fund. The State may terminate for convenience with thirty days' written notice or for cause immediately, and without penalty if appropriations are insufficient or reduced. Vendors without prior State payment in the past two years must submit IRS Form W-9 upon award. All quoted prices are valid for 90 days from submission.

Attendance at the pre-bid meeting is mandatory; late arrivals, early departures, or failure to sign the attendance form may result in disqualification.
