DNR Otter Slough Generator

The state and local contract opportunity involves the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (DNR) seeking a generator for Otter Slough, located within Tazewell County. The procurement was posted on March 3, 2025, with proposals due by March 14, 2025. While specific details about the generator's technical specifications are not provided in the available documentation, the opportunity appears to be a targeted infrastructure improvement project for a DNR facility. The standard terms and conditions document indicates that vendors must comply with extensive state procurement requirements, including provisions for prevailing wages, minority contractor fees, and comprehensive insurance coverage. Potential bidders will need to demonstrate technical capability to supply and potentially install a generator system that meets DNR's operational requirements.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though the standard terms suggest potential opportunities for minority contractors. The state's standard terms require vendors to maintain $1,000,000 in general liability, auto liability, and workers compensation insurance, which may limit participation for smaller contractors. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure details are provided in the available documentation. While a specific budget range is not specified, the presence of a detailed standard terms and conditions document suggests a structured procurement process with clear expectations for vendor qualifications and performance. Interested vendors should carefully review the standard terms document to understand the comprehensive requirements for doing business with the State of Illinois.
