The Illinois Department of Corrections, specifically the Pontiac Correctional Center located in Lasalle County, is seeking a competitive equipment rental contract for roof repair infrastructure. The procurement involves renting three specific pieces of diesel-powered heavy equipment: an 80ft straight boom lift, a high-flow skid steer with a cab (weighing 2400-2999 lbs), and a 10,000 lbs telehandler with ROPs and forks measuring 50-56ft in length. The contract term is two months, with equipment delivery required within three days of contract execution and removal mandated within 48 hours of notice. Potential vendors must comply with Department of Corrections rules, undergo security background checks, and provide comprehensive maintenance and insurance for all rental equipment. The solicitation requires vendors to submit bids by August 25, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with the primary objective of facilitating repairs to the R&D building's roof. Vendors must demonstrate full compliance with the comprehensive 33-point Standard Illinois Certifications form, which covers legal, ethical, and operational standards.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly noted in the procurement documents. Subcontracting is prohibited, and all work will be performed 100% at the Pontiac Correctional Center location. While a precise budget range was not specified, the contract includes provisions for monthly billing to the Pontiac Correctional Center Business Office and adheres to the State Prompt Payment Act. Vendors must provide evidence of legal standing, no criminal history, tax compliance, and a drug-free workplace. The contract includes standard state procurement conditions and prevailing wage requirements. Payment and contract terms allow for cancellation at any time during the two-month period without penalty, providing flexibility for the government agency. Potential vendors should be prepared to demonstrate full operational capability, including equipment availability, maintenance protocols, and strict adherence to all state procurement and safety regulations.
