IDOC Lawrence materials to repair exterior doors -ll

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) Lawrence Correctional Center is soliciting bids for metal materials to repair exterior doors through a small purchase procurement process. The specific procurement involves acquiring two types of hot-dipped galvanized A60 steel: 60 linear feet of Type D32 12 GA with 7" width and 60 linear feet of Type D13 12 GA with 7 5/8" width. Vendors must submit bids electronically through BidBuy or email by December 23, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. A mandatory pre-bid requirement includes submitting a 12" sample of both materials to ensure compatibility with existing door infrastructure. Delivery is expected within 90 days of contract award, with deliveries accepted Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Lawrence Correctional Center in Sumner, IL. The contract will run through June 30, 2025, upon final signature of all parties, with pricing required to be F.O.B. destination and include all transportation and handling costs.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation. Vendors must complete and submit the Standard Illinois Certifications, which include 33 mandatory compliance areas covering financial obligations, environmental standards, anti-corruption measures, and various state procurement regulations. Potential vendors must certify compliance with requirements such as the Illinois Human Rights Act, drug-free workplace standards, and ongoing reporting of any changes to certification status. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract appears to be a targeted procurement with a relatively limited scope focused on specific metal materials for door repairs. Vendors should be prepared to potentially face penalties for non-compliance, which could include contract termination, suspension, debarment, civil fines, or criminal penalties if false certifications are submitted. The state reserves the right to award the contract in part or whole, providing flexibility in the procurement process.
