IDOC - Statewide Safety Equipment Rental

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is procuring a statewide contract for safety equipment rental services. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) seeks an established equipment rental company with a minimum of five years of experience and branch locations across the state to provide rental services for equipment such as scissor lifts, articulating boom lifts, and scaffolding. The resulting contract will have an initial term of five years, with the total term not to exceed ten years including any renewals or extensions. Bids must be submitted electronically through the BidBuy system by July 25, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. The pricing for this contract is estimated, not firm, and must include delivery and pickup costs. Vendors may bid on all regions or as few as one region as identified in the IFB. The contract will have an economic price adjustment clause allowing for price increases up to 3% or the change in the Consumer Price Index, whichever is less. Subcontracting is allowed, and the IFB outlines the requirements for disclosing and using subcontractors.

This contract opportunity is not subject to any small business, minority, women, or veteran-owned business set-aside goals. The IFB does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The procurement documents indicate an estimated budget, but do not provide a specific award value or range. Vendors responding to this IFB must be registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG) and submit the required IPG Active Registered Vendor Disclosure form, formerly known as Forms B, along with their bid.
