DNR - enclosed utility trailers

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is seeking to procure four (4) enclosed aluminum, single-axle utility trailers for hauling the department's new snowmobiles for the Office of Law Enforcement. The trailers must meet detailed technical specifications, including dimensions, weight capacity, features, and construction. The vendor must be the manufacturer or an authorized dealer and provide a full manufacturer's warranty. Bids must include shipping costs, and the trailers must be new, unused, and delivered to the specified location in Pawnee, Illinois. The Department is considering "or equal" submissions that meet the required standards, with the burden of proof on the bidder to demonstrate equivalency. The procurement documents do not include pricing terms, set-asides, or funding information, nor do they provide specific details on response deadlines, award dates, or contract duration.

The Standard Terms and Conditions document outlines general terms and conditions related to payment, assignment, subcontracting, audits, confidentiality, warranties, termination, and availability of appropriation that would apply to the contract. The contract may be partially or totally funded with federal funds, and the vendor would be required to pay prevailing wages. The document also specifies set-asides for minority contractors, contractor responsibilities, and the State's rights regarding contractor performance and termination of the contract. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned, and the available budget or award value range is not provided.
