EMERGENCY NOTICE: Water Line Repairs at Beall State Park

This is an emergency procurement for water line repairs at the Beall Woods State Park in Vermilion County, Illinois. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the agency responsible for the state park, is seeking a contractor to excavate, locate, and repair multiple water line breaks in the campground, as well as install new shut-off valves and restore the turf in the affected areas. The project is expected to start on May 25, 2023, and be completed by July 21, 2023, with an estimated expenditure of $26,000. The agency first attempted to utilize an existing statewide plumbing services contract but was unable to find an available vendor in the relevant region, so they have selected a local Small Business Set-Aside (SBSA) vendor, F.W. Electric, Inc. DBA F.W. Plumbing & Heating, that is registered in the state's procurement system and has extensive experience working at the Beall Woods State Park.

The contract will be subject to the State of Illinois' Standard Terms and Conditions, including requirements for prevailing wages, invoicing, audits, confidentiality, and compliance with applicable laws. There are no additional details provided on the evaluation criteria or award process. The funding for this emergency purchase will be from State Appropriated Funds, and the contract value is estimated at $26,000.
