PO23-646 DCFS Director's Custom Recognition Wall

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) is seeking a vendor to design, fabricate, and install two custom standoff recognition displays for DCFS director portraits at its facilities in Springfield and Chicago. The displays must be durable, professional, and modern, with room for up to 30 portraits, including 2 additional spots for previous and current confirmed directors. The vendor must provide a unique design element to enhance the overall appearance, and the displays must be constructed to fit inside an elevator. DCFS requires the vendor to provide inside delivery, all mounting hardware, and full installation services, with the custom displays to be installed within 45 days of the agreed-upon artwork at both locations. DCFS will award a 10% contingency fund in addition to the low vendor's quote to cover any cost increases due to design changes after the award. DCFS prefers specific materials, fonts, and design elements, as outlined in the minimum specifications, but vendors may propose alternative designs that fit within the design goal and minimum specifications.

DCFS reserves the right to reject designs that do not materially conform to the design goal and minimum specifications. The contract does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and the document does not provide any information about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The contract value is not specified, but DCFS has indicated a willingness to provide a 10% contingency fund in addition to the low vendor's quote.
