JPMC Carpentry by Region N

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Central Management Services (CMS), is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) to establish multiple joint purchasing master contracts for carpentry services in the North (N) Territory, Region 3. The purpose is to enable governmental units within Region 3 to procure carpentry services on an as-needed basis during the 3-year contract period. CMS will award primary, secondary, and potentially additional vendors for Region 3. The contract term is 3 years, with no renewal options. Pricing is structured as a per-hour labor rate, which must include the highest prevailing wage rate within the region, fringe benefits, and all other employer expenses. Material costs will be billed at the vendor's unit cost. Vendors responding to this solicitation must complete the Vendor Disclosure, Standard Certifications, and IPG Active Registered Vendor Disclosure forms, and attend a pre-bid conference on August 10, 2023.

There is no Small Business Set-Aside or Veteran Small Business goal for this solicitation. CMS has previously awarded 100% of the contract value in Regions 2 and 4, so those regions are not included in this solicitation. The state will award the primary and secondary vendors 100% of the contract value for Region 3, and may award additional vendors up to a total of 10 with decreasing award percentages. The total award value for this contract opportunity is not specified, but the prevailing wage information provided indicates the labor costs that would be associated with completing the carpentry work.
