Railing Material, Installation and Removal

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, is seeking quotes for the replacement of a rusted railing at the Illinois Veterans' Home - LaSalle in Lee Center CDP, Lasalle County. The scope of work includes removing the old steel handrail, repairing the concrete, installing a new painted safety yellow steel handrail, and providing a 1-year warranty on labor and the manufacturer's warranty on the steel rail. The contract requires compliance with prevailing wage requirements, and the agency reserves the right to reject any offers and award the contract on a per-item basis. Vendor quotes must be valid for 180 days and include all shipping and handling charges. A voluntary walkthrough for vendors will be held on May 20, 2021, and the work must be started before June 30, 2021. The agency will award the contract to the vendor with the lowest total bid.

The contract has no set-aside designations, but the agency may consider brand name products or equal substitutes. The Standard Terms and Conditions for the State of Illinois apply, which address payment terms, minority contractor initiatives, audit requirements, and other contractual obligations. The contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds, and the agency may partially ship equipment in case of delay on the total order. The total estimated value of the contract is not provided, but the agency has a budget for the railing replacement project.
