D3 Landscape 3 Point Sprayer FY23

The state of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Bureau of Business Services, is procuring a tractor-mounted, 3-point liquid sprayer for vegetation maintenance operations in IDOT District 3 and Lasalle County. The detailed specification outlines the requirements for the sprayer, including the tank, pump, plumbing, boomless spray system, control assembly, hose reel, and fresh water rinse system. Bidders must submit descriptive literature, specifications, and proof of manufacturer qualifications. The contract will be awarded based on serviceability, with the successful bidder required to provide prompt parts and service within the state. The contract opportunity has a posted date of May 11, 2023, and a due date of May 22, 2023.

The procurement has been issued with a Small Business Set-Aside Program (SBSP) waiver, meaning it is not set aside for small businesses in Illinois, despite the established set-aside categories for construction, supplies, and services. The waiver provides justification for this decision, which may include factors such as the agency's specific requirements or the availability of qualified small business vendors. The estimated value of the contract is $15,000, and the procurement is specific to IDOT District 3 and the Lasalle County jurisdiction within Illinois.
