IFB-Underground Fuel Storage

The Illinois Tollway is seeking a vendor to provide Underground Fuel Storage Tank Monitoring System Services through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation. The services include repairs, monitoring, testing, and emergency response for the underground fuel storage tank monitoring systems (TLS 350 Veeder Root Systems) at various Tollway locations. The vendor will be required to perform these services on an as-needed basis over an initial three-year term, with two optional two-year renewal periods. Bids are due by the date and time published on BidBuy, the State's electronic procurement system. The contract will be a time and materials agreement, with hourly rates provided for regular and emergency services, as well as a percentage discount off the manufacturer's list price for any required parts. The Tollway has the option to award the contract to one vendor for the entire system or split it into an East Zone and West Zone.

The IFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, it indicates whether there are any small business, diversity, or veteran-owned business participation requirements. The funding for the contract will come from Tollway revenues, not the Illinois General Assembly. The IFB does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no information provided on any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB does not state an award value or budget range.
