DOC/washer and dryer with installation/AF

The Illinois Department of Corrections, specifically the Pontiac Correctional Center located in Livingston County, is seeking to procure and install industrial laundry equipment through a one-time bid process. The procurement involves three specific commercial laundry machines: a 130-pound commercial washing machine extractor, a 65-pound commercial washing machine extractor, and a 170-pound commercial steam-operated dryer. All equipment must be new and not refurbished. The vendor is required to provide comprehensive installation services, which include delivering and installing the equipment, removing construction debris, adapting facility building structures as needed, and providing owner and operator manuals detailing general and scheduled maintenance. The contract requires the vendor to perform all work during normal weekday business hours (7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays) at the Pontiac Correctional Center located at 700 West Lincoln Street, Pontiac, Illinois. Bids are due no later than October 22, 2025, at 12:00 PM CST, with the contract term running from the last dated signature through June 30, 2026.

The contract is designated as a small purchase procurement with a Small Business Set-Aside, which means certain restrictions apply to potential bidders. No subcontracting is permitted, and vendors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including $1,000,000 per occurrence in General Commercial Liability, $1,000,000 per occurrence in Auto Liability, and Workers' Compensation Insurance as required by law. All vendor employees performing on-site services must undergo security background checks and may be subject to urinalysis or blood testing. Vendors must also complete and submit comprehensive Standard Illinois Certifications, which include requirements related to legal entity status, business licensing, ethical conduct, tax compliance, and workplace safety. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement is for a one-time purchase of industrial laundry equipment with installation services. Vendors should note that travel time and expenses are not reimbursable, and compensation will only be provided for specific services rendered and documented.
