IDNR - World Shooting Complex 20x40 Unit Lease - Building 5- Space 501

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is requesting bids on a four-year lease of one 20-by-40-foot unit in Building 5, Space 501 at the World Shooting Complex in Sparta, with bids due November 4, 2026. No set-asides or business enterprise program participation goals apply.

The leased space occupies one of five stand-alone buildings along the trap course. The vendor will operate the space as a retail or service business with flexibility to determine days and hours of operation, provided hours are posted visibly. The vendor must implement a point-of-sale system accepting credit and debit cards, dedicate a "Made in the USA" section for domestic products, and maintain comprehensive insurance including $1,000,000 general commercial liability per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate. The vendor is responsible for all interior maintenance, janitorial services, sanitation, and compliance with environmental and safety regulations; IDNR maintains the roof, foundation, and exterior walls. Prevailing wage requirements apply to applicable food service operations.

The contract term runs from January 1, 2027, or upon signature by the Governor, whichever is later, through December 31, 2030, with a maximum total contract term not to exceed ten years including renewal or extension periods. IDNR anticipates fair and reasonable annual rent of no less than $3,000 per year. Award goes to the highest proposed annual price over the full contract period; tied bids are resolved by coin flip or random drawing. The estimated contract value is under $50,000.

Bids must be submitted electronically through the BidBuy platform and remain firm for 90 days from opening. All bidders must submit the Vendor Disclosure form (or proof of active Illinois Procurement Gateway registration), completed Offer to the State of Illinois form, and Illinois Standard Certifications. A pre-submission conference is non-mandatory. IDNR will notify the vendor of events anticipated to attract more than 5,000 visitors.
