DNR Purchase of Hydraulic Thumb

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is procuring the purchase and installation of a hydraulic thumb attachment for a Volvo EC220DL excavator used by their Heavy Equipment Crew (HEC) for statewide construction and maintenance projects. The Scope of Work (SOW) outlines detailed specifications for the hydraulic thumb, including required features, dimensions, and operating pressures. The successful contractor must complete the installation within 90 days at the HEC headquarters in Pawnee, Illinois, or the excavator can be delivered to an off-site location within 60 miles. The contractor must also provide an operations and maintenance manual, product literature, and a 12-month manufacturer's warranty. The contract is subject to the Illinois Small Business Set-Aside Program, and the contractor must provide required insurance coverage. Payment terms are subject to the Illinois Prompt Payment Act, and a $15 fee is required for the Minority Contractor Opportunity Initiative. The procurement is set up through the BIDBUY system, with a paper bid option available if necessary. No budget or funding source is specified, and no information is provided about any incumbent contractor or the current procurement environment.

This procurement is set aside for small businesses registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway program. The SOW does not indicate any specific evaluation criteria, but the contract award is not guaranteed, and all questions must be directed to the designated Information Contact/Purchaser. The procurement is located in St. Clair County, and no other jurisdictions or agencies are included.
