DHS-choate-SP ASH silo repair

The State of Illinois Department of Human Services is seeking quotes for the repair of a leaking ash silo at the Choate Center. The scope of work includes the removal and replacement of any necessary parts, pipes, gaskets, insulation, and the repair of any components that can be repaired. The vendor must provide all materials, equipment, and labor needed, including a vacuum truck for ash removal and crane rental. The vendor is also responsible for cleaning up the work site and disposing of all waste associated with the project. A mandatory site visit is scheduled from November 8th to November 17th, 2021, and vendors must call to schedule an appointment. Quotes must be submitted by November 19th, 2021, at 9:00 a.m., and the contract will be awarded to the vendor with the lowest total bid. The agency reserves the right to reject all offers, award by item or group of items, and waive minor defects.

The procurement is not designated as a set-aside, and there are no restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The agency may require the bidder to submit evidence of their qualifications, and a determination of non-responsibility will result in the bid being rejected. The current contract holder is not identified, and the value of the contract is not specified. However, the project is subject to the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act and the Illinois Procurement Code, requiring the vendor to pay laborers, workers, and mechanics performing services on public works projects no less than the current prevailing rate of wages in the county where the work is performed.
