All materials, including powder-coated black handrails, anchors, and installation materials, must be provided by the vendor. A mandatory site visit/walk-through is scheduled from November 2-11, 2020, and the completed quote must be submitted by November 13, 2020, at 9:00 a.m. The contract is subject to the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, and vendors must comply with all related requirements. The Department of Human Services (DHS) reserves the right to reject any or all offers, and the winning vendor will be chosen based on the lowest total bid.

The procurement does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and no specific budget range is provided. However, the procurement is subject to the Illinois Procurement Code, which requires fair and open competition for state contracts.
