SP Compressed Gas Cylinder Refill Services

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISTHA) is seeking a qualified vendor to provide Compressed Gas Cylinder Refill Services. The successful vendor will be required to furnish and deliver compressed gas cylinder refill services, including picking up empty cylinders, refilling them, and delivering the refilled cylinders to two Tollway locations. The gases required include oxygen, acetylene, argon, nitrogen, and propane. The estimated contract term is two (2) years from March 9, 2023 through March 8, 2025, with the potential for up to two (2) years of renewal. The vendor must bid on all line items for both Tollway locations to be considered responsive, and pricing will be evaluated to award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder with the lowest total bid price. No price increases will be accepted during the contract term, and the Tollway is guaranteed the lowest price if a price decrease occurs.

The procurement will be conducted electronically via email or the state's BidBuy system, per CPO Notice 2020.06, and manual paper submissions will not be accepted. The contract is contingent upon the availability of funds, and the Tollway reserves the right to terminate the contract for cause or convenience. The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it list any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The budget range or potential award value is also not provided.
