JPMC Carpentry by Region

The Illinois Central Management Services (CMS) is seeking carpentry services through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) Contract B-46615, which will establish a five-year master contract for as-needed carpentry services across state facilities. The contract covers comprehensive carpentry work including minor alterations, repairs, and replacements for interior and exterior structures, specifically addressing tasks related to exterior surfaces, drywall, windows, roofing, floors, doors, and hardware. Vendors must provide services within strict response timeframes: 8 hours for routine work and 2 hours for emergency service after notification. The procurement is structured as an indefinite quantity contract available to all governmental units in Illinois, with individual projects limited to $50,000 without Capital Development Board pre-approval. Bidders must submit pricing based on hourly labor rates that include prevailing wages, benefits, and associated costs, with material costs billed at unit price without markup. The contract opportunity is divided into 10 geographic regions, allowing vendors to bid on multiple regions, with proposals due by March 12, 2025.

The contract requires vendors to maintain substantial insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in general liability insurance, auto liability insurance, and worker's compensation. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, vendors must have an active State of Illinois Vendor Registration Number and complete the Illinois Procurement Gateway Active Registered Vendor Disclosure form. The procurement allows for multiple vendor awards, with a predefined work allocation percentage system that distributes contract work among up to four vendors: the primary vendor receiving 60%, secondary 25%, tertiary 10%, and quaternary 5%. Vendors must comply with state procurement regulations and provide detailed documentation regarding their business status, taxpayer information, and current/pending state contracts. Although no specific total contract value is stated, the indefinite quantity master contract suggests significant potential work volume across Illinois state facilities. The contract term can extend up to 10 years, including potential renewals, providing long-term opportunities for qualified carpentry service providers.
