RR-25-6002 Systemwide, Pavement Repairs

The State of Illinois, through the Chief Procurement Office, is soliciting competitive sealed bids for RR-25-6002 Systemwide Pavement Repairs, an Invitation for Bid (IFB) procurement posted on February 18, 2026, with a deadline for electronic submission by March 17, 2026. This procurement involves systemwide pavement repair services, requiring vendors to provide comprehensive pavement restoration and maintenance work across Illinois state facilities. All submissions must be made electronically through the BidBuy procurement platform in accordance with CPO Notice 2023.12; paper responses will not be accepted under any circumstances. The State will award the contract to the lowest priced responsive and responsible bidder that meets all specified criteria, with the evaluation process prioritizing responsibility and responsiveness assessment before price consideration. Bidders must submit all required documentation electronically, including vendor disclosures or IPG active registered vendor disclosures, taxpayer identification number forms, proof of authorization to conduct business in Illinois, and all standard state certifications and compliance documentation. Bids must remain firm for 90 days from the bid opening date, and bidders must affirmatively declare whether proposed work or materials are manufactured or sourced in the United States to meet domestic product preference requirements.

Vendors responding to this procurement must complete comprehensive disclosure forms addressing compliance with multiple state and federal statutory requirements, including Illinois Department of Human Rights registration (for companies with 15 or more employees), drug-free workplace certifications, anti-bribery compliance, and environmental law adherence. The State may provide bid preference to Illinois businesses that have been operating and headquartered in Illinois for at least one year prior to the bid advertisement, are subject to applicable state taxes, and provide construction services; eligible bidders must submit the Affidavit for Illinois Business Bid Preference with supporting documentation at bid submission. Vendors are encouraged to identify themselves as minority-owned, women-owned, disability-owned, disadvantaged, or veteran-owned businesses, though no specific set-asides are detailed in the available procurement documents. Vendors with contracts valued at $1,000 or more will be subject to a $15 administrative fee deducted from the first payment, and all awarded vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including $1,000,000 in general commercial liability per occurrence and workers' compensation insurance as required by law. The specific budget range and contract award value are not disclosed in the available procurement documents; however, the scope of systemwide pavement repairs suggests a substantial infrastructure investment across multiple Illinois state facilities.
