IDOC men electrical repairs JRA

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is seeking a contractor for electrical repair services at the Menard Correctional Center, specifically focusing on repairing the primary electrical feed from an Ameren Illinois substation. The contract, identified as B-48830, requires a vendor to provide comprehensive electrical diagnostic and repair services, including all necessary labor, parts, materials, and tools. The procurement is categorized as a small purchase contract, with work to be performed entirely at the correctional facility, requiring minimal disruption to facility operations. The contractor must coordinate all work directly with the Chief Engineer and obtain prior approval for repairs. The contract term runs from execution through June 30, 2026, with the vendor required to have proper licensing, provide detailed repair records, and comply with all state and federal regulations. Key vendor qualifications include ability to perform specialized electrical infrastructure repairs, maintain comprehensive documentation, and adhere to prevailing wage standards.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard Illinois procurement certifications suggest potential preferences for minority-owned businesses. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating $1,000,000 in general commercial liability and $1,000,000 in auto liability coverage. The vendor must sell replacement parts at cost and provide detailed invoicing, with total payment amounts to be determined prior to contract execution. No subcontractors will be permitted, and all work must be performed within the United States. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the contract is structured as a single-repair project with costs to be finalized during the procurement process. Vendors must complete a comprehensive 33-point certification process covering legal, ethical, and operational standards, which could potentially disqualify firms with certain historical compliance issues or unresolved legal challenges.
