DNR - Newton Lake - foam insulation

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has posted a state contract opportunity for spray foam insulation work on a 40' x 60' x 12' shop building located at the Newton Lake State Fish and Wildlife Area. The contractor will be required to provide all labor, equipment, and materials to apply 2 inches of closed-cell spray foam insulation to the interior walls and underside of the roof, covering approximately 4,927 square feet. The contractor must have 5 years of commercial building/insulation experience and demonstrate completion of at least 5 similar projects. Bids will be accepted electronically on BidBuy and must be good for 90 calendar days. The contract term is 90 days from the Notice to Proceed unless an extension is agreed upon. The contract requires the contractor to comply with prevailing wage rates, certified payroll reporting, small business set-aside requirements, and provide performance and payment bonds if the project exceeds $50,000.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, but the procurement does include a small business set-aside requirement. The State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions will govern the contractual relationship, covering payment terms, assignment and subcontracting, audit and record retention, intellectual property rights, indemnification, insurance, and other standard commercial and administrative provisions. The contract value was not specified, but the scope of work suggests a moderate-sized project for the insulation of a 40' x 60' shop building.
