The State of Illinois, through the Department of Corrections (IDOC) Kewanee Life Skills Re-Entry Center, is seeking bids from responsible vendors for the replacement of the existing maintenance/laundry water heater system at the Kewanee facility. The project requires the selected vendor to furnish all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to demolish the current boiler, flue, and storage tanks, and install six new energy-efficient tankless water heaters in a back-to-back configuration on a rack system. The new tankless heaters must meet specific technical requirements, including minimum BTU capacity, efficiency rating, and safety features. Bids must be submitted by April 6, 2023 at 11:00 AM, and a mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for March 30, 2023. The contract is for a one-time project, and the State is not obligated to award a contract if the prices are not deemed reasonable. The pricing for this RFQ must be submitted in the format specified in BidBuy, and the total contract amount is estimated.

The state has not provided any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has also not indicated any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The state has estimated a total contract amount, but has not provided a specific budget range for this procurement. The contract is subject to the availability of appropriated funds, and the State may terminate the contract for convenience with 30 days' notice.
