IDOC Armory doors upgrade

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is soliciting competitive bids for a Graham Correctional Center Armory Doors Upgrade project located in Mercer County, Illinois. The procurement involves installing new operators, operating controls, and lock controls on the facility's armory and administrative doors, with specific requirements for comprehensive door retrofitting. Vendors must submit bids by December 6, 2024, at 10:30 a.m., with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit scheduled for November 27, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Prospective bidders must register for the site visit by November 26, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. The contract will run from the date of final signature through June 30, 2025, with work to commence within 10 days of contract execution. Work must be performed Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., and contractors are required to provide all necessary transportation, equipment, licenses, certificates, permits, and insurance.

The procurement includes provisions for minority contractor initiatives and potential federal funding, though specific percentages are not detailed. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence for General Commercial Liability and Auto Liability, as well as Worker's Compensation insurance. The project is subject to prevailing wage requirements, and contractors must comply with standard Illinois state certifications, which include non-delinquency in state debt, environmental regulations, anti-collusion practices, and cybersecurity standards. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the RFQ indicates the total contract price is "estimated" with the maximum amount to be determined prior to execution. Vendors must be prepared to meet rigorous compliance standards, as false certifications could result in contract voidance, suspension, debarment, denial of payment, civil fines, or criminal penalties.
