IVHM FY23 Diesel Tank Replacement

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, is seeking vendors to provide labor and materials for the removal and replacement of a 550-gallon diesel fuel tank and pump at the Illinois Veterans' Home (IVHM) facility. The project specifications require the vendor to furnish and install a new 550-gallon single-wall UL-listed tank, along with a new high-flow fuel pump, piping, and related equipment. The vendor must adhere to all applicable life safety codes and obtain approval from the State Fire Marshall. The Request for Quote (RFQ) also includes COVID-19 protection requirements per recent state executive orders. Quotes must be submitted electronically via email or the state's BidBuy portal by the due date of February 21, 2023. The estimated delivery time for the project must be provided, and all quoted prices must be valid for 180 days. The agency reserves the right to reject any or all offers, award by item or in total, and waive minor defects.

The contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFQ does not provide any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ also does not include any details about the possible award value or budget range for this project.
