Steel Drums-Hazardous Materials Response Team

The Village of Schaumburg, Illinois, located in Cook County, is seeking sealed bids for Invitation for Bid (IFB) #2023-IFB-013, a comprehensive lift station rehabilitation project involving two municipal wastewater facilities at Bode Road and Toys R Us. The procurement requires a full-scale retrofit of existing lift stations, including demolition of current infrastructure, installation of new submersible pumps, electrical system upgrades, and site restoration. Specific deliverables include replacing two 34 HP submersible pumps, modifying pump control panels, extending lift station hoists, installing new electrical conduits and wiring, and performing site work such as grading, paving, and landscaping restoration. The project requires precise technical capabilities, including integration with existing SCADA systems, maintenance of continuous wastewater flow during construction, and compliance with local and national electrical and safety codes. Critical dates include a mandatory pre-bid meeting held on February 6, 2023, and electronic bid submissions due through the OpenGov e-Procurement Portal by February 24, 2023, at 12:00 pm, with bids submitted after this time being automatically disqualified.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard municipal contracting practices typically encourage diverse vendor participation. Bidders must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including comprehensive general liability, automobile liability, umbrella liability, and workers' compensation, with specific minimum coverage amounts. A performance bond covering 100% of the contract amount is mandatory, with alternative provisions for a Letter of Credit for contracts under $100,000. Bid security of 10% of the total bid price is required, and bidders must demonstrate compliance with state employment practices, human rights, and workplace standards. While no specific budget range is detailed in the documents, the project involves significant infrastructure investment, with technical specifications indicating a sophisticated municipal engineering project. The existing infrastructure includes a 60kW diesel generator that will be maintained, and the new systems must integrate seamlessly with current wastewater management infrastructure. The Village reserves the right to reject any bid, suggesting a competitive and comprehensive evaluation process.
