FY22 D1 Rodenburg Maint CIF AST storage tank

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is issuing a competitive Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the removal of an existing 7,000-gallon above-ground storage tank and the purchase and installation of a new 7,000-gallon, vertical, electric-heated, liquid asphalt storage tank at the Rodenburg Maintenance Facility in Cook County. The scope of work includes removing the existing tank and associated electrical disconnect, removing the existing concrete pad, constructing a new concrete pad and secondary containment system, and installing the new tank and connecting it to the existing power supply. The work must be completed by June 30, 2022. Bids will only be accepted from established manufacturers or their authorized dealers, and a non-mandatory pre-submission conference is scheduled for February 2, 2022. Bids are due by the Bid Opening Date, and the State will award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder who submits the lowest price. The resulting contract will have an initial term from execution to June 30, 2022, with no option to renew.

While the State has not set aside this opportunity for any specific business program, there is a 26% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) goal and a 1% Veteran Small Business (VSB) goal for subcontracting participation. Vendors must submit a completed BEP Utilization Plan demonstrating how these goals will be met through self-performance or subcontracting. The contract may be awarded to an incumbent vendor, but no details on current or past contractors are provided. The budget range or estimated contract value is not disclosed in the available documents.
