RFQ Warehouse Storage and Transport Services

The State of Illinois, through the Department of Juvenile Justice (IDJJ), is seeking proposals for Warehouse Storage and Transport Services to secure storage space and deliver items from a warehouse to the new Illinois Youth Center (IYC) in Lincoln, Illinois. The selected vendor will be required to provide approximately 17,000 square feet of storage space within a 50-mile radius of Lincoln, with temperature maintained between 52-72 degrees Fahrenheit. The vendor will also be responsible for transporting and delivering the stored items to the IYC Lincoln campus during regular business hours. Pricing for the contract will be based on a per-hour rate for moving pallets and a fixed rate per delivery occurrence, with labor paid at no less than the prevailing wage rate. Bids must be submitted via BidBuy or email to the solicitation contact by the due date, and a bidders' conference and site visit may be required. The contract term will extend to the completion of the IYC Lincoln project, with no renewal options.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is also no mention of an incumbent vendor or current contractor. The total payments for this contract shall not exceed the maximum amount stated without a formal amendment, and the contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds.
