IDOT Materials Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)- SP W/ ER Cond

The Illinois Department of Transportation Bureau of Materials is procuring a Dynamic Shear Rheometer under a small purchase with emergency conditions, with a vendor quote due August 14, 2026.

The DSR is equipment essential for IDOT's laboratory operations, specifically for asphalt binder testing and characterization in materials testing and quality assurance. The emergency conditions designation reflects an immediate operational need within the Bureau of Materials.

A vendor quote document is attached and establishes pricing, delivery schedule, and warranty provisions for the DSR unit. Standard Illinois Certifications (Version 2.6.2) and the State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions (Version 23.2) apply. Vendors awarded contracts of $1,000 or more must pay a $15 fee to the Comptroller's Administrative Fund. Prevailing wage requirements apply where applicable. Vendors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate and retain records for three years (or five years if federal funds are used). The State retains sole ownership of all work products, may terminate for convenience with 30 days' notice without penalty, and does not waive sovereign immunity. All disputes are resolved through the Illinois Court of Claims. Contracts are subject to availability of appropriations and may be terminated if the Illinois General Assembly fails to make sufficient appropriation or if the Governor reduces departmental funding. A Taxpayer Identification Number certification form must be completed and submitted as a prerequisite for participation.
