IDOC QBS for ADA Architectural and Title II Survey

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) intends to procure architectural and engineering services to conduct an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) survey and assessment of three maximum security correctional centers: Menard Correctional Center, Pontiac Correctional Center, and Stateville Correctional Center. The objective is to evaluate the physical accessibility of the facilities and related program access for individuals with disabilities. Respondents must be prequalified with the Illinois Department of Transportation or Capital Development Board and submit their qualifications electronically by July 7, 2023. The evaluation criteria include the firm's experience with ADA assessments, architectural accessibility surveys, and program accessibility evaluations, particularly within correctional settings. There is a 29% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) participation goal associated with this opportunity, and firms will be evaluated on their proposed BEP utilization.

The state and local contract opportunity is being solicited through a qualifications-based selection (QBS) process, and IDOC will only accept electronic submissions through the BidBuy platform, as per the Chief Procurement Office's notice. The resulting contract will have an initial one-year term with the potential for up to ten years total. The contract will be funded in part by federal funds, and the State reserves the right to terminate the contract based on availability of appropriations. No other details on set-asides, incumbent vendors, or award values are provided in the available information.
