Rebid of Equipment Trailers

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), is seeking bids for the rebid of equipment trailers, including 14,000 lb and 18,000 lb capacity tandem axle tilt-deck tag trailers. The contract requires newly manufactured trailers that meet detailed specifications for the frame, deck, hitch, brakes, axles, suspension, wheels, tires, and electrical system. Bidders must be established manufacturers or authorized dealers and provide descriptive literature, warranty information, and proof of service and parts capabilities. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with IDOT reserving the right to waive minor informalities. Bids are due by March 23, 2021, and the initial contract term will run from the date of execution through June 30, 2022, with no renewal options indicated.

The procurement is not subject to any set-aside requirements, and there are no restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor, Arrow Trailer, was awarded a previous contract for a portion of the requested trailer lines. The overall budget range or award value is not explicitly stated, but the prior contract awarded to Arrow Trailer was for $27,944.00.
