IFB Electrical Wire and Cable

The Illinois Tollway is seeking bids for Electrical Wire and Cable through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) procurement. The Tollway is looking to procure various types of electrical wire and cable, including building wire, data and telephone cable, coaxial cable, and loop wire, for a two-year contract term with the option to renew for an additional two years. Vendors must bid on all line items to be considered responsive, and the contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder submitting the lowest price. Written vendor questions are due by October 13, 2021 at 2:00 pm CDT, and bids are due as published in BidBuy. The IFB includes specific Business Enterprise Program (BEP) and Veteran Small Business (VSB) participation goals of 17% and 2% respectively, and vendors must submit utilization plans detailing how they will meet these goals.

The contract opportunity is limited to electronic submissions through the BidBuy platform, and manual or paper-based submissions will not be accepted. The IFB does not provide details on the incumbent vendors, contract amounts, or funding sources. However, it does state that the Tollway may order more or fewer quantities than the estimated amounts based on a two-year contract term. Vendors must be registered in the State of Illinois vendor system and meet all required certifications and disclosures to be considered for award.
