IDOC TAY Supply and Return Cleaning

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC), specifically the Taylorville Correctional Center located in Clinton County, is seeking a qualified vendor to perform comprehensive air duct cleaning services across eight facility buildings. The procurement involves cleaning approximately 4,006 linear feet of supply and return air ducts in facilities including the Administration, Health Care, Commissary, Dietary, Educational, Visiting Room/Operations, Maintenance/Vehicles, and Firing Range buildings. Vendors must adhere to National Air Duct Cleaning Association standards and provide all necessary equipment, transportation, licenses, certificates, permits, and insurance. The Request for Quote requires vendors to perform work between 7:00 AM and 4:00 PM Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, with work to commence within 15 business days of contract execution. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for February 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM, and sealed bids are due February 14, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Vendors must submit detailed employee information for background checks and potential drug screening prior to facility access, and comply with prevailing wage requirements.

The contract opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard Illinois procurement rules likely apply regarding minority business participation. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified in the documentation. The initial contract term runs through June 30, 2025, with an estimated contract price that is not firmly specified. Vendors must carry a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence in general commercial and auto liability insurance, as outlined in the Standard Terms and Conditions document. Subcontractors are expressly prohibited from participating in this procurement. Prospective bidders must demonstrate technical capability to clean complex HVAC systems, provide comprehensive documentation of cleaning processes, and ensure minimal disruption to correctional facility operations. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the scope suggests a moderate-sized professional services contract focused on facility maintenance and environmental quality improvement.
