Horticultural Equipment - Equipment

The state of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ) School District #428, is seeking bids for Horticultural Equipment Items for a new Horticulture Training Program at the Illinois Youth Center in St. Charles. The Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) outlines 15 line items for procurement, including weed trimmers, leaf blowers, benches, wagons, fans, and heaters. Interested vendors must complete the contract, attach a copy of their Business W-9, and submit their bid by December 3, 2021 at 12 Noon via the Bid Buy system. The contract term begins on December 15, 2021 and ends on June 30, 2022. Upon delivery, vendors must follow all security protocols for the secure youth detention facility. Vendors are required to communicate any potential delivery delays due to supply chain issues.

The procurement is funded through the state and is not contingent on federal funding. The BOA does not identify any set-asides or incumbents, and there is no indication of a bidder's conference or site visit requirement. The attached Standard Certifications Attachment GG outlines the legal, ethical, and operational requirements that vendors must agree to and comply with for the duration of the contract, including any renewals. The document does not provide details on a specific contract opportunity, but rather sets forth the standard terms and conditions that would apply to any state contract awarded in Illinois.
