EMO RM20-2047 Boiler inspection repair 3 jmg

The state of Illinois, through the Department of Central Management Services (CMS) for the Emergency Management Agency (EMO) division, is procuring boiler inspection and repair services for various state facilities. The scope of work includes the procurement of three valves and the provision of acid washing services to remove mineral and chemical buildup in the boilers at the East Moline Correctional Center. The boilers at the facility are over 40 years old and have recently failed inspection, necessitating immediate repair to prevent the temporary closure of the prison due to lack of heated water and heat. The procurement is utilizing small purchase procedures, and the contract term is for a one-year base period with the option to extend for up to four additional one-year renewal periods. The contract was awarded following a competitive bidding process, and pricing is based on a fixed unit cost schedule for inspection and repair services.

This procurement does not include any small business or other set-aside designations. The incumbent provider has been awarded the contract, as the state of Illinois has attempted to procure a boiler repair and maintenance contract numerous times in the past 5 years but has been unsuccessful due to a lack of bidders. Funding for the contract will be provided through the state's general operating budget for the EMO division, and the total award value is not specified.
