Naperville - new facility leased space - request for information

The Illinois Secretary of State (SOS) is seeking to lease real property in Naperville, Illinois to open a new Drivers Services Facility. The SOS requires a minimum of 10,000 square feet of rentable space with a minimum of 100 parking spaces, including 4 accessible spaces, as well as a 110'x50' motorcycle testing course. The lease term is for 5 years with an optional 5-year renewal. Responses to the Request for Information (RFI) are due by November 9, 2021 at 2:00 pm, and the SOS will evaluate responses based on responsiveness, responsibility, and price. The SOS may negotiate with all responsive respondents to select a preferred respondent, and will not pay more than its proportionate share of temporary improvement costs. Any lease where the SOS is the exclusive tenant must contain an option to purchase.

Respondents must provide evidence of site control, and the location must be within Naperville, Lisle, Downers Grove, Bolingbrook, or Woodridge, Illinois. The SOS encourages hiring qualified veterans and Illinois residents discharged from adult correctional centers where appropriate. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and the SOS has not identified any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The budget range for this opportunity has not been specified.
