IDOC men septic & grease services JRA

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) at Menard Correctional Center is soliciting quotes for comprehensive septic and grease removal services across its facility. The procurement specifically seeks a vendor to provide pumping services for multiple septic tanks and portable toilets, as well as removal of non-recyclable grease and kitchen waste from four onsite tanks. Services must be performed Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., excluding holidays, with a three-year contract term that can potentially extend up to ten years. The Request for Quote (RFQ) B46135 requires vendors to submit bids by January 28, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for January 21, 2025 at 10:00 AM. Vendors must provide percentage discounts off manufacturer's list prices for equipment, system controls, parts, and materials, and will be required to submit proof of waste/grease disposal with each monthly invoice. Prevailing wage requirements are in effect, and vendors must demonstrate compliance with comprehensive insurance standards, including $1,000,000 per occurrence for general commercial liability and auto liability.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly designate specific set-aside provisions for disadvantaged enterprises, though the Standard Illinois Certifications document indicates requirements for vendor compliance with various statutory obligations. Vendors must meet multiple certification standards, including having no defaulted educational loans, compliance with collective bargaining obligations, and adherence to environmental and labor regulations. While the exact maximum contract value is not specified, vendors should be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation of their capabilities, including proof of disposal methods, insurance coverage, and ability to meet the facility's specific service requirements. The contract will be executed through Richland County (FIPS Code 17159) and is subject to the State of Illinois' standard procurement guidelines. Potential bidders must carefully review the attached documentation, including the FY 2025 Standard Terms and Conditions, Standard Illinois Certifications, and the detailed RFQ to ensure full compliance with all state procurement requirements.
