IDNR Conservation World Portable Toilets and Hand Washing Stations

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is seeking a portable sanitation services vendor for the 2025 Illinois State Fair's Conservation World event. The procurement involves supplying and maintaining 15 standard portable toilets, 5 handicap-accessible portable toilets, 9 double hand washing stations, and an optional 4-stall restroom trailer with air conditioning. Equipment must be delivered and installed by August 6, 2025, and utilized during the fair from August 7-17, 2025. Vendor requirements are extremely specific, mandating on-site presence, 30-minute response times for service calls, and daily maintenance of hand washing stations 4-5 times per day. The vendor must use side-by-side or small utility vehicles for water and grey water management, operate within limited site access constraints, and ensure continuous operational readiness throughout the event. Subcontractors are strictly prohibited, and the vendor must maintain adequate supplies and be prepared for immediate service requests.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The contract appears to be open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the stringent operational requirements. While no incumbent vendor information was provided, the procurement documents suggest a comprehensive and rigorous selection process focused on operational capabilities. No specific award value or budget range was disclosed in the available documents. The Standard Terms and Conditions document indicates potential financial considerations, including a $15 fee for contracts over $1,000 and standard state procurement guidelines. Vendors will need to demonstrate robust logistical capabilities, strict adherence to service standards, and the ability to operate effectively within the unique constraints of the Conservation World event site. Compliance with state procurement regulations, including potential requirements for tax documentation, insurance, and performance monitoring, will be critical for successful contract award.
