D1 Stream Mitigation Credits

The State of Illinois, specifically the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) District 1, is seeking to procure stream mitigation credits to fulfill stream impact mitigation permit requirements regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under the Clean Water Act. IDOT is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to purchase a maximum of 534 stream mitigation credits, with awards made starting from the lowest price per credit until the maximum number of requested credits are fulfilled. The resulting contract will be a one-time purchase expiring on December 31, 2024, with no renewal option. The maximum term of the contract, including any extensions, will not exceed 10 years. Vendors must be approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide the required stream mitigation credits and submit proof of such approval with their bid, which must be submitted electronically through the BidBuy system by the specified due date.

This solicitation does not include any small business, minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned business participation goals. The pricing for the credits will be submitted through BidBuy, and the total payments under the contract shall not exceed a maximum amount to be determined by the State prior to contract execution. The contract was previously awarded to the Forest Preserve District of Kane County for a total award amount of $318,495.00, with no unsuccessful bidders reported. The contract does not appear to have any Business Enterprise Program (BEP) or Veteran's Business Program (VBP) utilization requirements, as the utilization plan percentage for both is listed as 0%.
