June 2023 - Quarterly Board Meetings

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Law Enforcement Training & Standards Board, is seeking quotes for the hosting of their quarterly Board meetings on June 7-8, 2023. The Board is looking for a hotel located in Lake County, Illinois to provide meeting space, audio/visual services, catering, and lodging accommodations. The meeting space requirements include a 200-person ballroom with a U-shaped dais for 21 Board members and theater-style seating for at least 80 attendees. Additional services requested include table-top microphones, a projection screen, flags, and meal and beverage service. The Board requires 55 hotel room reservations, of which 30 will be financially covered by the Board. Vendors must provide an all-inclusive quote, which must be valid for 180 days and include all expenses. The Board reserves the right to reject all offers and will select the vendor that can provide all required supplies and services at the lowest price.

The RFQ does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is also no information provided regarding incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure and technology requirements. The RFQ does not specify a budget range or expected award value, but the Board is seeking the most cost-effective solution for the requested services.
