The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) at Stateville Correctional Center and Northern Reception & Classification Center (NRC) in Crest Hill, Will County, is seeking a one-year service contract for repair and maintenance of material handling equipment. The procurement specifically targets comprehensive service for various equipment types including Dayton Ride-On Electric Pallet Jacks, Big Joe Electric Pallet Jacks, Yale Forklifts, Landoil Bendi Forklifts, Eddo Electric Stackers, Noblelift Electric Pallet Jacks, and standard pallet jacks. The contractor must provide scheduled inspections, routine maintenance, and repair services, with a mandatory 48-hour response time for service requests.

The bid submission deadline is February 18, 2025 at 11:00 a.m., with potential vendors required to demonstrate comprehensive maintenance capabilities and strict adherence to service protocols.

The contract opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard Illinois certifications mandate compliance with numerous regulatory requirements. Vendors must maintain substantial insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence in general commercial liability, $1,000,000 in auto liability, and required worker's compensation insurance. No subcontractors are permitted under this contract, and all work must be performed within the United States. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the document indicates the contract price is estimated rather than firm, with a maximum amount to be determined prior to execution. Prevailing wage requirements apply, and vendors must complete 33 mandatory certifications covering areas such as tax compliance, environmental standards, non-discrimination policies, and cybersecurity requirements. Non-compliance could result in contract termination, suspension, or potential financial penalties.
