Auto Repair and Collision Repair Services

The State of Illinois Department of Central Management Services, in cooperation with the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services, is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Auto Repair and Collision Repair Services. The purpose is to establish a 10-year contract to enable the State to purchase ancillary services for diagnosis, repair, maintenance, warranty repairs, collision repair, glass replacement, and towing for its fleet of approximately 9,200 light and medium duty vehicles, including fossil-fuel, hybrid electric, and electric vehicles. The vendor must provide a current network of shops across the state that can meet the contract demands. Pricing is structured as hourly labor rates for mechanical maintenance and repair services in the Chicago area, hourly labor rates for collision repair services in the downstate area, and towing fees based on hook-up and mileage. The State will pay the vendor's cost for parts with a constant percent discount from MSRP. A pre-submission conference will be held on August 4, 2022, and vendor questions are due no later than 7 days prior to the bid opening date of August 17, 2022.

This solicitation has a 10% Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities (BEP) goal, but no Veteran Small Business goal. Vendors must be registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway to bid on this opportunity. The contract is an indefinite quantity contract with no option to renew beyond the 10-year term, and the annual value is over $50,000. The State may continue to perform most repairs at State Garages, but may utilize the awarded vendor's network of service and collision repair shops if the State cannot complete the work internally. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are specified.
