CMS L6860 RFI Jacksonville, IL

The State of Illinois, specifically the Department of Central Management Services (CMS), is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for approximately 9,245 square feet of general office space in Morgan County, Jacksonville, Illinois. The initial lease term would be 5 years with a 5-year renewal option. CMS seeks to accommodate 44 personnel, including private offices, cubicles, and common areas such as a conference room, break room, and storage. The state requires a minimum of 17 parking spaces, 2 of which must be ADA-accessible, as well as data and electrical infrastructure that meet Department of Innovation and Technology standards. Respondents must demonstrate site control, provide details on the tenant space configuration, and acknowledge compliance with accessibility codes and laws. Responses are due by August 15, 2023, and the state will evaluate and negotiate with respondents to select a preferred property.

The RFI does not specify any Business Enterprise Program (BEP) or Veteran Business Program (VBP) utilization goals, as the previously awarded contract did not identify any certified BEP or VBP firms in the utilization plan. The contract was awarded to Rohn Investments, Inc. for $1,663,638.60 over the initial 5-year term, with no incumbent vendor information provided. The state indicates it will favor proposals that meet or can reasonably meet the performance and spatial guidelines outlined in the RFI, with determinations made at the state's discretion.
