IVHQ Dock Leveler Purchase & Installation for Schapers Building

The state of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, is seeking to procure and install a 20,000-40,000-pound hydraulic dock leveler with hydraulic lip for the Schapers Building at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy, Illinois. The selected vendor will be responsible for all existing pit alterations, electrical connections, and removal and disposal of the existing dock leveler. The work must be performed during regular business hours on weekdays, excluding holidays, and is subject to prevailing wage requirements. The award will be based on the total project price, and the quoted prices must be valid for 180 days. The pricing terms state that all quoted prices must include shipping and handling charges, and no price increases will be accepted. The agency reserves the right to reject all offers, award by item or in total, and waive minor defects. The vendor must agree to partial shipment of equipment in case of a delay on the total order.

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. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are specified in the available information. The contract value or budget range is not provided, but the scope of work suggests it is a discrete project with a defined timeline for completion. Potential bidders may be required to attend a site visit or pre-bid conference to inspect the dock area and gather information necessary for submitting a responsive proposal.
