Fence for Canteen Courtyard

The state and local contract opportunity is for the installation of a new fence around the canteen courtyard at the Illinois Veterans' Home - LaSalle in Lasalle County, Illinois. The Request for Quote (RFQ) specifies that the vendor is responsible for all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for the installation, as well as the removal and hauling away of the existing 5-foot-high steel fence. The requested fence must be 8 feet high, curved at the top to prevent people from entering the facility, and 50 feet long from east to west and 10 feet long from north to south, with a 4-foot swinging gate that can be locked. A voluntary walkthrough for vendors will be held on December 5, 2018, and the vendor must agree to partial shipment in case of delays. The winning vendor will be selected based on the lowest total bid, which must include shipping and be valid for 180 days.

The RFQ stipulates that the vendor must ensure compliance with prevailing wage requirements and provide a 1-year warranty for labor and the manufacturer's warranty on the fence. The state's Standard Terms and Conditions for state and local contracts will apply, covering payment, assignment and subcontracting, audit and record retention, and other contractual obligations.
