Concrete Saws for D3, D5

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is seeking to purchase concrete saws for use in Districts 3 and 5. The procurement is being conducted through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) process, with the award going to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest price. The concrete saws must meet IDOT's detailed 524 60 06 Concrete Saw specifications, including requirements related to cutting capabilities, engine, blade drive, water system, drivetrain, wheels, lighting, and other features. Bidders must be established manufacturers or authorized dealers of the required equipment and provide certifications, disclosures, and documentation as part of their bid submission. The resulting contract will have an initial term of 12 months, with the total term not to exceed 10 years, and may be partially or totally funded with Federal funds. Bids must be submitted electronically through BidBuy by the June 29, 2023 due date.

There is no small business set-aside or veteran-owned small business goal for this procurement. The current incumbent vendor is Schaaf Equipment Co., who was awarded a $156,626 contract for a 12-month term to supply concrete saws for IDOT. Vendors must be registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG) and submit the required IPG Vendor Disclosure forms. The contract award will be based on factors such as serviceability and the bidder's ability to provide prompt parts and service within the State of Illinois, as the continuous operation of this equipment is critical.
