Joliet Treatment Center Security Systems Repair/Maintenance Service Agreement

The State of Illinois Department of Corrections, specifically for the Joliet Treatment & Inpatient Treatment Center located in Will County, is seeking a two-year maintenance contract for comprehensive security systems repair and service. The procurement involves maintaining six total systems across two facilities, including door automation, camera, paging, and access control systems. Key service requirements include 24/7 technical assistance, four annual service visits, eight hours of annual programming time, emergency response within two hours, and on-site services within 24 hours. A mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit is scheduled for April 11, 2025, with vendor registration required by April 7, 2025, and limited to three participants per vendor. Potential vendors must provide comprehensive system inspections, parts replacement capabilities, and demonstrate technical competence in security system maintenance. The proposal is due by April 18, 2025, and vendors must comply with extensive security protocols, including wearing temporary ID, following institutional security rules, and submitting employee background information.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard Illinois procurement guidelines suggest potential preferences. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation. Vendors must meet strict qualification criteria, including the ability to perform without subcontractors, undergo background checks, and provide comprehensive insurance certificates. While specific pricing is not detailed, the contract is structured as an estimated pricing agreement with potential for comprehensive system maintenance across multiple facilities. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with state procurement regulations, including prevailing wage requirements and potential federal funding considerations. The contract emphasizes technical expertise, responsiveness, and adherence to institutional security standards, with potential for termination if performance benchmarks are not met. Vendors will be required to provide insurance coverage and comply with extensive state procurement terms and conditions.
