The Illinois Department of Human Services is soliciting rebid quotes under reference B-54658 to replace two underground water distribution valves at the Ann Kiley Center, 1401 W. Dugdale Road, Waukegan, Illinois, with responses due November 17, 2026. Respondents must be licensed plumbers in the State of Illinois, bonded, and insured, and a mandatory site visit is required before bid submission.

The work covers excavating and removing two existing 8-inch isolation valves, installing replacement valves in accordance with local codes, NFPA standards, and the Illinois Plumbing Code, testing and demonstrating valve operation, providing a valve key, restoring disturbed landscaping or pavement, and removing all waste generated. The solicitation is a fiscal year 2027 rebid.

Bidders must satisfy a self-performance requirement that governs how much work the prime contractor must perform with its own workforce and resources. Subcontracting requires prior written State approval under the Standard Terms and Conditions (Version 23.2), which also require $1,000,000 general commercial liability per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, a twelve-month minimum warranty on supplies, and compliance with prevailing wage requirements for applicable categories, including public works. The Standard Illinois Certifications (Version 26.2) impose 34 certification requirements that flow down to all subcontractors. For contracts exceeding one year, contractors must certify by January 1 of each fiscal year any changes affecting their eligibility under Article 50 of the Illinois Procurement Code. Notable requirements include steel product manufacturing restrictions for public works, Illinois Use Tax remittance, compliance with the Procurement of Domestic Products Act, and posting of employment vacancies on IllinoisJobLink.com. Non-compliance exposes vendors to sanctions including contract voidance, suspension, and debarment.

Payment is subject to availability of appropriations, and the contract may be funded in whole or in part with federal funds, with the percentage and amount to be specified in award notices. Disputes must be filed exclusively with the Illinois Court of Claims.
