DNR Jake Wolf Well #5 pump replacement

This state and local contracting opportunity is for the replacement of pump #5 at the Jake Wolf Memorial Fish Hatchery, located in Topeka, Illinois and managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). The contract calls for the contractor to perform a pump test on the existing, inoperable pump, remove and replace it with a new pump meeting the original specifications of 1200 gallons per minute capacity and 170 feet of dynamic head. The contractor will be responsible for all labor, materials, and equipment needed to complete the pump replacement, as well as start-up and testing of the new equipment. The work must be performed during normal business hours and all workers must be paid the prevailing wage rate. The contractor must have expertise in well motor and pump services and will be required to coordinate closely with the Hatchery Manager. The project duration is 90 calendar days, and all work is covered by a one-year warranty.

This opportunity is open to any qualified contractor, but the solicitation documents indicate that the project is subject to the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, which requires contractors and subcontractors to pay workers the current prevailing wage rate. The state has not identified any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The solicitation does not provide an estimated contract value or budget range, but vendors must be able to comply with the state's standard contract terms and conditions, including insurance, audit, and record-keeping requirements.
