IDOC MEN SCBA System Inspections and R&M CLS

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), specifically the Menard Correctional Center located in Madison County, is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive maintenance and inspection services for their Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Cascade system. The procurement involves annual filter changes, air quality testing, and required repair and maintenance for 105 SCBA tanks over a five-year contract period. Vendors must be prepared to perform all work on-site at the Menard Correctional Center during standard work hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.), excluding holidays. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit is scheduled for December 12, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., with registration required by December 11, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. Bids are due by December 16, 2024, at 10:00 a.m., and the contract will require adherence to prevailing wage requirements and comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence in general commercial liability insurance and $1,000,000 in auto liability insurance.

The contract includes several key restrictions and requirements, notably prohibiting the use of subcontractors and implementing small business set-aside provisions. Vendors must maintain worker's compensation insurance and demonstrate the capability to fully service the SCBA system at the correctional facility. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the contract price is described as an estimated amount to be finalized prior to execution. The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical specifications and insurance requirements, with a potential emphasis on supporting small or local businesses. The contract will be awarded based on the vendor's ability to meet the comprehensive technical and operational requirements outlined in the Request for Quote (RFQ), with a focus on maintaining the critical fire safety equipment for the correctional center.
