JPMC Chicago Parking Zones 1, 2, 3

The State of Illinois, specifically the Department of Central Management Services (CMS) in conjunction with the Chief Procurement Officer for General Services, is seeking to establish a Joint Purchasing Master Contract (JPMC) for secure parking spaces in downtown Chicago. The procurement opportunity covers three specific geographic zones: Zone 1 (85 spaces), Zone 2 (300 spaces), and Zone 3 (120 spaces), targeting parking for state-owned vehicles and employee-paid parking. These parking facilities must provide 24-hour access with in-and-out privileges, accommodate vehicles up to six feet eight inches tall, and maintain appropriate security measures. The bid solicitation requires electronic submissions through BidBuy by April 22, 2025, with bids remaining firm for 180 days from the opening date. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for April 10, 2025, at 10:00 AM via Webex Video Meeting, where potential bidders can ask questions about the solicitation. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, vendor responsibility, and lowest line-item pricing for each zone, with the state anticipating multiple contract awards (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary) to ensure adequate parking availability.

The procurement opportunity includes provisions to encourage participation from small businesses and veteran-owned businesses through the Business Enterprise Program and Veterans Small Business Program Utilization Plan. Vendors must complete mandatory documentation, including the Illinois Procurement Gateway Active Registered Vendor Disclosure form, which requires an active State of Illinois Vendor Registration Number for businesses seeking to bid on contracts with an annual value over $100,000. The contract will run for five years, commencing on July 16, 2025, with a maximum total term not exceeding ten years, and is available to all governmental units in Illinois. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract allows for flexible parking space additions or removals with written notice and will enable individual governmental units to contract and bill separately for their actual parking usage. Vendors will be responsible for providing access cards, maintaining facilities, addressing complaints, and offering additional services like battery jump starts and electric vehicle charging at no additional cost. No bid bond or performance bond is required for this solicitation, which may include federal funding and will incorporate standard State of Illinois contract terms and conditions.
