This state and local contract opportunity is for the procurement of rotary mowers by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The solicitation is being issued as an Invitation for Bid (IFB), with electronic submissions required through the BidBuy platform per a notice from the State's Chief Procurement Office. IDOT is seeking bids from responsible vendors for the initial contract term from execution to June 30, 2024, with the potential to extend up to ten years total. The IFB includes detailed technical specifications for both three-section and two-section rotary mowers, with delivery locations and contacts provided for six IDOT districts across the state. Bidders must provide warranty information, maintenance manuals, on-site training, and the ability to service the equipment within Illinois. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest price.

The previous contract for rotary mowers was awarded to German Bliss for a total of $590,932.49 over 15 months. No funding source information is provided, but the State reserves the right to terminate the contract due to lack of appropriations. Bidders must be registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway and complete the required Forms A and Forms B disclosures and certifications to be considered responsive.
