IRCC - ICI Conversion - Dock Repairs - JSW

The Illinois Department of Corrections - Illinois River Correctional Center (IRCC) is seeking qualified vendors to complete dock repairs at their Industries Warehouse facility through a Request for Quote (RFQ) process. The procurement involves removing and replacing two existing dock levelers and insulated doors with new equipment, specifically two 64"L x 74"W x 24"H dock levelers, two white insulated dock doors (8'x10"), two heavy-duty dock door seals with pleats, and four laminated rubber dock bumpers. Bids are due on December 20, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for December 16, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Interested vendors are limited to three participants per site visit, which must be registered by December 13, 2024. The project timeline requires work commencement within 10 days of contract execution and completion by June 30, 2025. Vendors must comply with prevailing wage requirements and provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1 million in general commercial liability and auto liability insurance, as well as worker's compensation.

The contract includes small business set-aside provisions, indicating a preference for smaller or disadvantaged business enterprises. Vendors must submit invoices within one month of project completion and adhere to the State Prompt Payment Act. The procurement is based on estimated pricing rather than a firm fixed price, with a maximum contract amount to be determined prior to execution. All transportation, delivery, and equipment costs are the vendor's responsibility, with pricing set as F.O.B. Destination. The contract is subject to standard Illinois State Terms and Conditions, which include a $15 fee for minority contractors awarded contracts of $1,000 or more. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive requirements suggest a moderate-scale infrastructure improvement project. Contract termination can occur with 30 days written notice for convenience or immediately for cause, and all agreements are contingent upon appropriation availability.
