The Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) is seeking an armored car services contract for its Chicago Operations Division, covering four specific locations in the city: 555 West Monroe, 5301 West Lexington Avenue, 9901 South Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, and 5401 North Elston Avenue. The procurement requires daily armored car pickup services with varying schedules: two locations will receive Monday-Friday service between 10:30 AM and 12:30 PM, while two locations will have Monday-Saturday service during weekday hours plus Saturday service from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Vendors must deliver deposits to JPMorgan Chase by 3:00 PM on weekdays and 9:00 AM the next business day for Saturday pickups. To be eligible, vendors must possess a minimum of five years of armored car service experience and maintain liability coverage of $100,000 for cash and $100,000 for check reconstruction. The contract will run from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with proposals due by February 27, 2025. A $50 fee will be deducted from monthly invoices for any missed pickups or deliveries, and vendors must perform all services within the United States, exclusively at the specified Chicago locations.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is being procured through electronic submission via email or BidBuy, as per CPO Notice 2023.12, with paper submissions explicitly prohibited. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract is designated with an estimated price, with the total maximum amount to be determined prior to execution. Subcontractors are not permitted, and 100% of the contract value must be performed at the specified Chicago locations. Vendors must also complete and maintain compliance with the 33 standard Illinois certifications, which cover areas such as tax compliance, environmental regulations, ethics, labor laws, domestic product preferences, and cybersecurity. Non-compliance or false certification could result in significant penalties, including contract termination, suspension, debarment, civil fines, or criminal prosecution.
