Kiley- Small Purchase - Kitchen Counter Tops

The State of Illinois, specifically the Department of Human Services (DHS), is procuring the installation of 10 kitchen countertop suites for the Ann M. Kiley Center located in Waukegan, Illinois through a Request for Quote (RFQ) process. The countertops must be postformed, performance-grade, high-wear laminate with a color and design to be determined based on the vendor's available selection. A mandatory site visit and bidders' conference is scheduled for May 21, 2019, at 10 AM, where vendors must confirm the countertop measurements and supplies needed. Vendors must submit their quotes no later than May 24, 2019, at 12:30 PM. The winning vendor will be selected based on the lowest total bid for all products, and the quoted prices must be valid for 90 days. The RFQ provides detailed pricing instructions, including requirements for freight/shipping charges, labor costs, and the total cost of materials and labor.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. DHS may require bidders to submit evidence of their qualifications, and the question of whether a bidder is responsible may involve an evaluation of their experience, type of facility, expertise, or financial resources. The RFQ does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and it does not provide any information about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ also does not include any information about the possible award value or budget range.
