The State of Illinois, through the Kewanee Life Skills Re-Entry Center, an agency of the Illinois Department of Corrections, is soliciting bids from responsible vendors for the replacement of the existing traditional water heaters in the facility's maintenance building with new energy-efficient tankless water heaters. The vendor must furnish all necessary labor, materials, and equipment to accomplish this work. Bids must be submitted by March 3, 2023 at 11:00 AM, and a mandatory pre-bid conference will be held on February 28, 2023 at 10:00 AM at the facility. The contract is a one-time engagement, with the work to be completed by June 30, 2023. Pricing must be submitted as line items in the BidBuy system, and no expenses are allowed. The total contract amount has not been specified, and this is a small purchase contract with no set-aside requirements.

The current incumbent vendor is unknown, and funding for this project is provided by the State of Illinois. The contract may be partially or totally funded with federal funds, and vendors must comply with the State's Standard Terms and Conditions, which outline requirements such as the payment of prevailing wages, maintenance of appropriate insurance coverage, and cooperation with any audits or investigations. The contract's availability is contingent upon the appropriation of funds, and the State retains the right to terminate the contract for convenience or for cause.
