CL AGO Bldg Structural Support Project

The Department of Military Affairs, Camp Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois is soliciting bids on structural support installation for the AGO building mechanical room penthouse under a Small Business Set-Aside Program, with bids due September 29, 2026. This is a restricted procurement — only small business vendors are eligible.

The scope requires installation of a new exterior steel roof frame above the existing penthouse to suspend and support two new water tanks (800 pounds empty, 2,125 pounds filled) for geothermal system upgrades. The frame comprises W18x65 and W12x26 galvanized beams, HSS4x4x5/8 galvanized steel columns, and lateral bracing, with all steel fabricated to ASTM A36, A992, A500, and A325 specifications and welded per AWS D1.1 standards. Hanging supports must be braced to the penthouse floor for seismic restraint per design plans. All materials must comply with specified design loads and attached technical drawings (sealed through November 30, 2026). Work is performed during standard business hours (0800–1600, Monday–Friday, excluding Federal and State holidays) on-site at Camp Lincoln.

Vendors must conduct mandatory site visits prior to bid submission and submit comprehensive Safety Plans with their proposals through the Bid Buy platform. The Prime Contractor is responsible for coordinating all roof penetrations and patching with the current warranty holder, Designed Roofing Systems, Inc., to maintain existing roof warranty. Vendors must provide safety barriers around equipment, crane placement, materials, and construction areas, and maintain a clean work area daily.

Vendors must register in the Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG) with an active, unexpired registration or complete and submit the Illinois Vendor Disclosure form (formerly Forms A). For contracts exceeding $100,000 annual value, vendors must disclose any lobbyists or agents communicating with State officers and all procurement relationships with State units. All information must be signed under penalty of perjury and include correct taxpayer identification.
