FY26 Fox Boiler Tube Replacement

The State of Illinois Department of Human Services is procuring boiler tube replacement services for the FY26 Fox Center project, with proposals due by May 14, 2026. The procurement requires vendors to supply 163 replacement boiler tubes for a Kewanee Boiler and provide complete labor and materials for removal and installation of the existing 163 faulty tubes, followed by hydro testing of the boiler upon completion. All work must be coordinated through the Chief Engineer, and vendors are responsible for supplying all necessary tools, parts, and materials in accordance with State of Illinois specifications. Required qualifications include holding appropriate certifications and meeting all state licensing requirements for technicians performing the work, with all welding and materials subject to state specifications. The contract term extends through June 30, 2026, and the project is subject to prevailing wage act requirements. Vendors must maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence with $2,000,000 annual aggregate, auto liability coverage of $1,000,000, and workers' compensation insurance as required by law.

No set-aside designations or restrictions targeting disadvantaged enterprises or specific organization types are identified in the procurement documents. The documents do not list any incumbent vendors, current contractors, or specific existing infrastructure requiring integration beyond the Kewanee Boiler system itself. No award value or budget range is specified in the available procurement materials. Vendors must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, maintain audit records for three years from final payment (or five years if federal funds are involved), and are subject to the State Prompt Payment Act. The State retains sole ownership of all work product and maintains the right to terminate the contract for convenience with thirty days' notice or immediately for cause, including material breach or safety concerns.
