IDOC - Carpet Removal, Diamond Grinding, Volleyball/Basketball Line Painting, Sealing Concrete

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), specifically the Western Illinois Correctional Center located in Calhoun County, is seeking a vendor to perform comprehensive gymnasium floor renovation services. The project requires a contractor to remove and dispose of existing carpet from a 90 x 120-foot concrete floor, diamond grind off existing glue and adhesive, paint volleyball and basketball court lines, and seal the concrete floor. A non-mandatory site visit is scheduled for Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., with attendance limited to three persons per vendor who must pre-register and present state picture identification. The bid submission deadline has been extended to April 25, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. CST, with a bid firm time of 120 days. Vendors must be prepared to perform the work during normal workdays (Monday through Friday) between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., coordinating closely with the facility's LTS Supervisor and complying with all facility security requirements, including potential employee background checks.

The contract is designated as a small business set-aside, indicating preference for smaller enterprise participation. Vendors must complete and submit the Standard Illinois Certifications, which encompass 33 compliance requirements covering areas such as tax compliance, non-discrimination, workplace standards, and regulatory adherence. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, vendors will be responsible for providing all necessary equipment and labor, with work to be completed by June 30, 2025. Prevailing wage requirements are in effect, mandating that all employees be paid appropriate rates for the work performed. Potential bidders must adhere to strict certification standards, and failure to comply could result in contract voiding, suspension, or potential financial penalties. Electronic devices are prohibited during the site visit, and vendors must follow specific protocols for project access and documentation submission. The contract appears to be a one-time procurement with no specified renewal options.
