Replace Landscaping at Main Building

The State of Illinois, through the Madison County jurisdiction, is seeking bids for the replacement of the landscaping in front of the Main Building. The project involves removing and disposing of the existing mulch, bushes, and landscaping matting, and then installing new landscape matting, bushes, perennials, a small maple tree, and ornamental grass in designated areas. The vendor must also spray for weeds and spread the Crystal White Sparkle Rock or equivalent. A mandatory bidder conference and site visit is scheduled for October 18th, and the project must be completed by June 30, 2023. Bids will be evaluated based on the lowest total bid, and vendors must agree to partial shipments in case of delays. The agency reserves the right to reject any or all offers, award by item or group, and deem a bidder as non-responsible.

The contract opportunity does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent contractor, if any, is not identified. The RFQ does not provide the award value or budget range for the project. However, the standard terms and conditions outline prevailing wage requirements and minority contractor initiatives that may apply to the contract.
