Dixon CC SP Emergency EPA Permit

The State of Illinois is seeking a vendor to provide a two-phase feasibility study for the Dixon Correctional Center's wastewater treatment services. The selected vendor, Andrew Engineering, will be responsible for identifying methods to reduce phosphorus discharge levels from the wastewater treatment plant in order to meet potential new effluent limits. The vendor shall evaluate the construction, operation, and maintenance costs of various phosphorus reduction methods, develop an optimization plan, and provide instruction to the Chief Engineer on optimizing treatment processes. The contract term is 12 months, and the pricing is estimated with no expenses allowed. The vendor must provide a percentage discount off manufacturer's list price for any equipment, system controls, parts, and materials required.

The contract is subject to the availability of appropriated funds, and the State may terminate or suspend the contract if funds are not available. The contract requires the vendor to comply with prevailing wage laws and includes standard State of Illinois certifications. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and the current incumbent vendor is not specified. The contract value is not explicitly stated, but the budget range can be inferred from the scope of work and the 12-month contract term.
