IDOC MEN N2 Shower Reseal JRA

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) at Menard Correctional Center is seeking bids for a shower re-sealing project in the North II Cellhouse, specifically targeting three shower rooms. The Request for Quote (RFQ) B-46074 details a comprehensive renovation involving approximately 1,400 square feet of wall surface, 750 square feet of ceiling surface, and 750 square feet of flooring. Required work includes mechanical preparation through diamond grinding, epoxy filling of holes and cracks, installation of fiberglass epoxy wall coating, and application of polyurethane topcoat systems. The project demands contractors provide all necessary labor, tools, equipment, and consumables, with work to be completed during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.). Key procurement dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on January 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM, and bid submissions due by January 15, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. Contractors must commit to starting work within 10 days of contract execution and provide a six-month warranty for all work, materials, and parts.

The procurement is designated as a Small Business Set-Aside, which restricts participation to qualifying small businesses. Vendors must complete and submit the Standard Illinois Certifications, which require compliance with various state laws including educational loan default status, retirement incentives, legal entity status, collective bargaining obligations, and tax compliance. The contract is funded through state appropriations and potentially includes federal funding, with a contract term extending through June 30, 2025. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence for general commercial liability and auto liability. A $15 fee applies to minority contractors awarded contracts over $1,000, and prevailing wage requirements must be observed when applicable. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the detailed specifications suggest a moderate-scale renovation project typical of correctional facility maintenance and improvement initiatives.
