IDOC Stateville CC/NRC - Forklift & Pallet Jack Service Contract

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is seeking a one-year service contract for forklift and pallet jack maintenance at the Stateville Correctional Center and Northern Reception & Classification Center (NRC) located in Crest Hill, Will County. The procurement involves comprehensive maintenance services for multiple material handling equipment types, including Dayton Ride-On Electric Pallet Jacks, Big Joe Electric Pallet Jacks, Yale Forklifts, Landoil Bendi Series forklifts, Eddo Electric Stackers, Noblelift Electric Pallet Jacks, and standard pallet jacks. The selected vendor must provide routine scheduled inspections, maintenance, and repairs, with a required response time of 48 hours for service requests. Work must be performed Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., and the vendor is responsible for supplying all labor, tools, test equipment, and materials. The bid submission deadline is January 14, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with the contract to be funded through the General Revenue Fund.

The contract requires vendors to meet specific insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 per occurrence in General Commercial Liability and Auto Liability coverage, along with statutory Workers' Compensation insurance. No subcontractors are permitted under this contract, and vendors must complete the Standard Illinois Certifications, which include compliance with 33 different certification requirements covering areas such as financial obligations, environmental standards, labor practices, and anti-corruption measures. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, vendors must certify they are not in default on educational loans, are not delinquent in state debt payments, and will comply with various state regulations. The pricing is structured as an estimated total amount rather than a firm fixed price, with parts and equipment to be priced FOB Destination and travel/mileage costs included in the hourly rate. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the maintenance contract suggests a significant investment in equipment upkeep for the correctional facilities.
