IDOC/replacement walk-in cooler door and walk-in freezer door/MM

The Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) at the Sheridan Correctional Center has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the replacement of one walk-in cooler door and one walk-in freezer door, located in Lasalle County. The procurement requires a vendor to provide all necessary equipment, materials, and labor to complete the one-time service, with all work performed under the supervision of the Chief Engineer or a designated representative. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 20, 2024, at 9:00 a.m., with bid submissions due by November 22, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. The project has an anticipated completion date of June 30, 2025, and requires vendors to have comprehensive property damage and public liability insurance. Vendors must also ensure that all employees working on-site pass required background checks, and invoices will be subject to approval by the Sheridan Correctional Center Business Office before payment.

The RFQ does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of enterprises, though the Standard Illinois Certifications document suggests compliance with non-discrimination policies and potential initiatives supporting Illinois and U.S. workers and products. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the standard terms and conditions reference potential minority contractor initiatives. The contract appears to be a firm-price arrangement, though the specific budget range is not disclosed in the provided documentation. Vendors will be expected to adhere to the Standard Terms and Conditions for the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office General Services, which outline comprehensive legal and operational requirements including payment terms, prevailing wage standards, auditing requirements, and compliance with various state and federal regulations. The contract will cover the duration of the project, with total payments not to exceed an unspecified maximum amount, contingent upon successful completion of the door replacement project at the correctional facility.
