IRCC - ICI Conversion - HVAC Project - JSW

The State of Illinois, specifically the Illinois Department of Corrections, is seeking a qualified vendor to complete an HVAC installation project at the Illinois River Correctional Center (IRCC) located in Canton, Fulton County. The procurement involves installing two 15-ton packaged HVAC units with 240,000 BTU natural gas heat, requiring comprehensive services including all labor, supplies, licensures, and certifications. Vendors must construct two concrete pads, install insulated galvanized metal ducts through the facility wall, and ensure proper connections for natural gas and electrical supplies. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for June 9, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with registration required by June 6, 2025, and final bid submissions due by June 13, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Key performance requirements include completing the entire project by June 30, 2025, adhering to prevailing wage standards, and meeting stringent facility security protocols that include background checks, temporary ID requirements, and potential random drug testing for all personnel.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard Illinois procurement regulations require compliance with equal opportunity and non-discrimination standards. Vendors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in general commercial liability and $1,000,000 in auto liability insurance. Subcontractors are expressly prohibited, meaning the winning bidder must perform 100% of work directly. While a precise contract value is not specified, the project is funded through state appropriations and represents a one-time service contract. Prospective bidders must complete the Standard Certification form, which includes 33 distinct compliance points covering areas such as business conduct, financial standing, employment practices, and legal eligibility to contract with the State of Illinois. Failure to meet any certification requirements could result in contract voiding, suspension, debarment, or potential civil and criminal penalties.
