SP Henderson Brine Trailers Repairs

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (ISTHA), is seeking a qualified vendor to provide repairs, parts, and services for two Henderson Brine Trailers. The contract term will be for two years, and the vendor must be able to complete all repairs, especially during the winter months of November through March, as quickly as possible. The vendor will be required to provide an estimate for any repairs within 48 hours of inspection and receive written approval from the Tollway's Fleet Manager before proceeding. The contract will be a time and materials contract, with regular hourly rates applicable from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, and emergency hourly rates for all other hours. The vendor must also provide a percent discount from the manufacturer's list price for replacement parts and will be allowed to add an administrative fee of up to 10% to the cost of any third-party repairs. The Tollway may provide some replacement parts in lieu of the vendor purchasing them.

The procurement is being conducted as a small purchase, with only electronic submissions accepted via email or the BidBuy system. The contract does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The existing incumbent vendors or current contractors are not specified, and the budget range or potential award value is not provided in the documentation. The key evaluation criteria focus on the vendor's ability to provide timely repairs, competitive pricing for labor and parts, and compliance with the administrative and compliance requirements outlined in the Forms A, Forms B, and Standard Certifications.
