REBID FY27 Trailer Mounted Air Compressors D1, D2, D3, D4

The Illinois Department of Transportation is requesting bids on trailer-mounted air compressors for Districts 1–4 under rebid IFB B49477, with bids due July 20, 2026. Vendors must be established manufacturers or authorized dealers; no third-party resellers or subcontractors are permitted. Only newly manufactured equipment qualifies — remanufactured or reconditioned units are not acceptable.

The procurement covers two distinct equipment lines: 250 cfm units at 100 psi (capable of operating two 90-pound pneumatic hammers simultaneously) and 375 cfm units at 150 psi. Both lines feature diesel-powered rotary screw compressors with liquid-cooled fuel-injected engines, hose reel assemblies, tool lubricators, and comprehensive operator-control panels. The 375 cfm specification includes a skid-mounted configuration option for District 2 in addition to standard trailer-mounted units. All equipment must meet current Federal, OSHA, and ANSI safety requirements and include manufacturer's warranties of at least twelve months from in-service date, covering all defective parts and workmanship at no cost to the State.

The initial contract term is 36 months from execution, with a maximum total term not to exceed ten years. Delivery is F.O.B. destination during weekdays (8:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.) unless prior arrangements are made; any defects identified within one year of delivery must be repaired or replaced at no cost. Pricing must be firm for 180 days from bid opening and must include freight costs. A $15 administrative fee applies to contract awards of $1,000 or more.

Vendors must hold active, unexpired registration in the Illinois Procurement Gateway and submit completed vendor-disclosure forms, specification-compliance documentation with descriptive literature, and warranty information. Award will be made to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder on a line-item basis. Bids need not cover all line items for consideration. The State applies preference for U.S.-manufactured products where available at comparable pricing and quality. General Commercial Liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence ($2 million annual aggregate) and Auto Liability of $1 million per occurrence are required, with the State named as additional insured.
