DJS Storage Tank Inspections HK

The Illinois State Police (ISP), in collaboration with the Office of the Illinois State Fire Marshal (OSFM), is procuring a vendor to perform comprehensive underground storage tank (UST) inspections across six locations in Sangamon, LaSalle, Cook, and St. Clair counties, with a specific focus on the Metro-East Forensic Science Laboratory in Belleville. The primary deliverables include conducting annual and three-year inspections of diesel and gasoline storage tanks, completing all necessary documentation, and reporting through online portals, with tanks ranging in size from 600 to 35,000 gallons. Vendors must maintain a current license with the Illinois Fire Marshal and possess the capability to perform equipment testing, record keeping, and as-needed general maintenance repairs. The contract requires vendors to ensure each site passes inspection, which may involve performing necessary repairs and maintaining comprehensive records in accordance with OSFM regulations. Evaluation criteria will be based on the lowest total price, with pricing to remain valid for 180 days. The solicitation was posted on July 14, 2025, with proposals due by July 31, 2025, and all vendors must submit quotes for prior approval before conducting any repairs.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the Standard Illinois Certifications document suggests a commitment to diverse business participation. Vendors must comply with numerous state requirements, including the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, maintaining specific insurance coverage (minimum $1,000,000 in General Commercial Liability and Auto Liability), and adhering to 33 specific certification areas covering legal, ethical, and operational standards. The contract involves existing underground storage tank monitoring systems from manufacturers like Pneumercator, Ronan, and Veeder Root, with infrastructure installation dates ranging from 1982 to 2012. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the inspection and maintenance requirements suggests a significant investment in infrastructure compliance and safety. Vendors must provide proof of insurance prior to bid award and demonstrate the technical capability to work with various tank configurations, including composite double wall, fiberglass double wall, and fiberglass single wall tanks.
