DHS SP- Sole Source- Kiley Camera Installation Project

The State of Illinois, specifically the Department of Human Services (DHS) for Lake County, is seeking a sole source procurement for the Kiley Camera Installation Project at the Ann Kiley Center. The contract involves the purchase and installation of surveillance camera equipment, with A-1 Corporate Hardware providing a quote for 4 AXIS S1296 Rack 96 TB recorders and 1 bond. The procurement is classified as a small purchase with sole source conditions, targeting the upgrade of security infrastructure at the mental health facility in Waukegan, IL. The quote, dated February 3, 2025, is valid for 30 days and includes project management by Sami Marshall. Key submission dates include a posting date of March 5, 2025, and a proposal due date of March 11, 2025, with a total quoted price of $95,178.20. Vendors must carefully review and comply with the attached Standard Illinois Certifications and General Services Standard Terms and Conditions, which outline comprehensive requirements for doing business with the state.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the Standard Illinois Certifications include provisions for minority contractors and employment practices. Vendors must comply with numerous mandatory certifications, including drug-free workplace requirements, ethical business practices, and cybersecurity standards. The contract requires vendors to be registered with the State Board of Elections, have $1 million in general liability insurance, and comply with state and federal laws. Existing infrastructure at the Ann Kiley Center will require integration with the new surveillance system, with the project focusing on enhancing security capabilities. The budget for this project is firmly established at $95,178.20, covering both equipment (4 AXIS recorders at $20,499.00 each) and bonding costs. Potential respondents must carefully review all documentation, including the terms and conditions that specify record retention, background check provisions, and contract termination clauses.
