Repair sections or rusted handrails

The state and local contract opportunity is for the repair of several sections of rusted handrails at the steps and ramps of the Main Building of the Illinois School for the Deaf, located in Madison County, Illinois. The scope of work requires vendors to cut out the rusted sections of the steel handrails, re-weld new steel sections, re-anchor the railing to the concrete, and prime and paint the new sections to match the existing handrail. The project must be completed by June 30, 2024, and a pre-bid meeting is scheduled for August 25, 2023. The contract requires compliance with the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, which mandates that contractors pay laborers no less than the current prevailing wage rate for the county. Vendors must also employ at least 90% Illinois laborers on the project, with exceptions granted if Illinois laborers are unavailable or incapable of performing the work.

The contract opportunity does not provide any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and no information is provided on the existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The contract opportunity also does not list any possible award values or budget ranges.
