DNR Bishop Hill - Abandon Well near Boys Dormitory

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is procuring the services of a licensed well driller to abandon and seal a deteriorated, hazardous well located near the Boy's Dormitory building at the Bishop Hill State Historic Site in Henry County, Illinois. The scope of work requires the contractor to remove all mechanical pipe and parts from the existing well, seal the well according to Henry County Health Department requirements, and reinstall the hand pump on a new wooden base and concrete top matching the existing structure. The contractor must obtain the necessary well sealing permit and restore the site to pre-construction conditions upon completion. The project has a completion date of October 15, 2023, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The procurement includes requirements for prevailing wage, apprenticeship programs, subcontractor disclosure, insurance, bonding, and the use of Illinois steel products.

This procurement does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The solicitation documents do not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The value of the contract is not explicitly stated, but the procurement is described as a "small purchase" and the bid form only requires a lump sum total amount, suggesting a contract value within the State's small purchase threshold.
