DHS SP- Kiley Replace Fire Doors

The state and local contracting opportunity is for the replacement of fire doors at the Ann Kiley Center facility in Waukegan, Illinois. The Illinois Department of Human Services is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) to remove the existing double doors, frame, and hardware, and provide new galvanized, primed, and painted fire-rated doors and frame with a 1-hour fire rating. The contractor must use industrial-level closers and hinges, provide a new panic bar device and lockset, and ensure the frame is properly installed, insulated, and anchored. The contractor must be licensed, bonded, and insured, and all labor must be provided by common law employees. The RFQ does not specify pricing terms or funding requirements, and the document does not indicate any set-asides or incumbent contractors. Additionally, the RFQ does not provide information on the current environment or any renewal options.

The state and local contract is subject to the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, which requires contractors and subcontractors 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. Vendors must certify compliance with the Act, and failure to do so will result in the bid being considered non-responsive. The contract also requires vendors to adhere to additional COVID-19 precautions, including the use of face coverings, COVID-19 vaccinations, or testing when working in certain facilities. The contract is open to all qualified vendors, and there is no indication of a budget range or award value.
