FY25 D4 Trailer Mounted Concrete Pump

The Illinois Department of Transportation's Bureau of Business Services is seeking to procure a trailer-mounted, diesel-powered concrete pump for highway maintenance and emergency projects through a competitive bid process. The specification requires a hydraulic twin piston pump capable of outputting a minimum of 40 cubic yards per hour at 1,100 psi, with capacity to handle 1.5" aggregate. The concrete pump must feature a minimum 74 HP engine, heavy-duty intake hopper, hydraulic outriggers, auto-lube system, and specific chassis and lighting requirements. Mandatory accessories include multiple discharge hoses, reducers, and a 90-degree elbow. Bidders must quote on the manufacturer's latest standard model with all standard equipment, and optional equipment should be included in the unit price. The solicitation was posted on June 4, 2025, with proposals due by June 11, 2025. The state reserves the right to request a demonstration of the unit prior to delivery and requires bidders to submit descriptive literature and acknowledge all specification requirements. A minimum one-year warranty covering all defective parts and workmanship is mandatory, with warranty service to be provided at no cost to the State.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though the standard terms and conditions document suggests potential minority contractor initiatives. The standard terms and conditions outline comprehensive vendor requirements, including mandatory insurance coverage of $1,000,000 in General Commercial Liability and $1,000,000 in Auto Liability. While a specific budget range is not detailed in the provided documents, the specification indicates this is a competitive procurement for a specialized piece of equipment. The contract is contingent on appropriation availability, with the state reserving the right to suspend or terminate the agreement if sufficient funding is not secured from the Illinois General Assembly or federal funding sources. Vendors will be expected to comply with prevailing wage requirements, maintain detailed records, and adhere to strict performance and operational standards as outlined in the state's procurement guidelines.
