IDOC MEN N2 Shower Reseal JRA

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for qualified vendors to provide high-level, non-proprietary, and non-price information on the materials and labor required to reseal the showers in the North Two cell house at the Menard Correctional Center. The purpose of this RFI is to gather information to aid IDOC in determining the best approach for this project, and it is not a procurement method that will result in a contract award. Vendors are required to attend a mandatory site visit on November 8, 2024, and submit their responses through BidBuy Bid #B-45221 by November 15, 2024. The RFI prohibits vendors from providing pricing information, customized solutions, or other details that could disqualify them from participating in future related procurements, but they may provide general information about industry trends, innovations, products, services, and best practices. All information received in the responses will be available for public review, and IDOC reserves the right not to issue a solicitation as a result of this RFI, with the state not responsible for any costs incurred by respondents.

This RFI is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state has not provided any information on incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. Additionally, the state has not disclosed any possible award values or budget ranges for this project.
