Starved Rock State Park FY27 Porta John Service

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources is soliciting bids for portable toilet service at Starved Rock State Park for fiscal year 2027, with proposals due April 16, 2026.

The scope calls for up to 36 portable toilet units across five park locations, with a mix of standard and handicap-accessible units. Service frequency is twice weekly from May through mid-September, then once weekly from mid-September through April, with Monday and/or Friday service dates and flexibility for holiday adjustments. The vendor must winterize units during winter months and be prepared to remove or relocate units during flooding events, absorbing associated idle-service costs. The prime contractor must perform a minimum of 51 percent of the work and is responsible for all necessary equipment, materials, labor, and expertise to deliver services while minimizing environmental impact. The vendor must maintain compliance with OSHA regulations and all applicable local, county, state, and federal licensing requirements, plus DNR site-protection and environmental-stewardship specifications. Public and media communications must be coordinated through the DNR Project Manager. The vendor is liable for repairs to any collateral damage to park structures, fixtures, or natural areas. Access may be restricted with 24 hours' notice due to weather, biological conditions, or other site circumstances. Contract work must begin within a reasonable notice to proceed, and the contract amount cannot be exceeded without prior written authorization from the State.

Attached documents include a site map showing portable toilet locations, a spreadsheet detailing location coordinates and service points, standard Illinois state contract terms and conditions (V23.2), and detailed specifications for portable toilet units and service requirements.
