Lift Gate with tuckunder and install - FY25 - IVHQ

The State of Illinois, specifically Adams County, is seeking a procurement for a lift gate with tuckunder and installation for the Quincy Illinois Veterans Home, focusing on a 2019 Ford F350 Box Truck. The contract requires an aluminum platform lift gate with specific technical specifications, including minimum dimensions of 78" x 41", a 2500lb capacity, fixed sidestep, split cart stop option, and a hydraulic system with dual controls. The procurement mandates installation within 150 miles of the Quincy facility, with precise delivery and installation timelines: the lift gate must be delivered within 10 days of contract execution, and installation must be completed within 30 days of product delivery. Key requirements include certified welding work, dock bumper installation, beehive marker lights, and taillight installation, with the entire project to be completed within 21 days of receiving the vehicle. The contract is set to run through June 30, 2025, with the bid submission deadline of January 10, 2025.

The contract allows for subcontractors, with the caveat that any subcontractor whose work exceeds $100,000 annually must receive prior approval. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, specifically $1,000,000 per occurrence for general commercial liability and auto liability. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the contract appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical and insurance requirements. The pricing will be included in the BidBuy Purchase Order tab and is designated as "firm," suggesting a fixed-price structure. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the documentation, but the scope of work indicates a moderate-scale procurement for vehicle equipment and installation services targeting the Illinois Veterans Home facility.
