Portable Sign Stand

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Division of Highways, is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for portable sign stand systems to be delivered to various locations in IDOT Districts 1, 4, and 7 by August 15, 2022. The sign stands must be NCHRP-350 or MASH approved, able to hold 48x60 inch aluminum highway signs, and be ballasted by sand bags. Bidders must submit descriptive literature, material specifications, and dimensioned shop drawings with their proposal. The RFQ specifies that aluminum stands are preferred over steel due to weight considerations, and both standard and tripod-style sign stands are required. The RFQ does not provide any details on quantities, pricing, or funding sources.

The RFQ is open to bidders from the state of Illinois, including Cook County. No set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond are mentioned. The RFQ does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information about existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ also does not specify any award values or budget ranges.
