This state and local contracting opportunity is for the procurement of various copper pipe fittings, valves, circulating pumps, and 3-way mixing valves for a water recirculation system upgrade at the Kewanee Life Skills Re-Entry Center, which is operated by the Illinois Department of Corrections (DOC). The total value of the requested items is approximately $27,000. Bids are due by 11:00 pm CST on May 27, 2022, and all items must be delivered within 45 days of the vendor being awarded the contract. The contract term begins upon final signature and ends on August 15, 2022. Pricing for the commodities and equipment must be in accordance with the specified unit of measure, with only one unit price quoted per item.

The agency reserves the right to award the bid in whole or in part. COVID-19 protocols, including vaccination or testing requirements for vendor staff, will be enforced at the correctional facility.
