The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is seeking to rent a 20-ton chiller unit and necessary components/accessories for a 4-month period from June 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024, for the Sheridan Correctional Center's Central Visiting Room building. The vendor will be responsible for delivering, installing, disconnecting, and picking up the chiller equipment. Bids must be submitted by May 7, 2024, at 11:00 AM. A pre-bid conference is optional but not mandatory. The State will award the contract to the responsive and responsible vendor who submits the lowest price. The total payments under the contract shall not exceed an undisclosed maximum amount.

The RFQ does not allow for subcontracting, and there are no set-aside requirements indicated. The pricing format required is based on the line items in the BidBuy procurement system, and the State considers the total contract price to be estimated, not firm. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not specified, and the RFQ does not provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The State has not disclosed a budget range for this contract opportunity.
