Street Sweepers, Vactor Truck and Water Trucks Rental D1

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is seeking bids for the rental of specialized municipal maintenance vehicles in District 1, specifically covering Cook County. The procurement includes three primary equipment types: street sweepers, water tanker trucks, and sewer vactor trucks. Each vehicle type has detailed technical specifications, requiring rental units to be either new or used (no more than 3 years old or 3,000 hours of operation). The street sweeper must be a self-propelled, dual-engine mechanical unit with a 200-gallon water tank and 4 cubic yard dirt hopper, while the water truck requires a tandem axle chassis with a 3,500-gallon water tank and four-corner street flushing system. The sewer vactor truck must feature a tandem axle chassis with a combination vacuum catch basin cleaner and high-pressure jet rodder. Vendors must be established manufacturers or authorized dealers capable of providing on-site repairs within 48-72 hours and offering comprehensive three-hour training for two personnel. The bid is exclusively electronic through the BidBuy platform, with proposals due on June 23, 2025, and bids must remain firm for 90 days from the opening date.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations, but vendors must be registered in the Illinois Procurement Gateway and comply with state procurement regulations. Potential tax credits are available for vendors who hire qualified veterans and ex-offenders. Insurance requirements include $1,000,000 per occurrence for general commercial liability and auto liability, with the State named as an additional insured. No subcontractors are permitted under this contract, and vendors must adhere to prevailing wage requirements and potential domestic product procurement policies. While specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the contract will commence upon final signature and end on November 30, 2025, with a maximum term not exceeding ten years. The state reserves the right to increase or decrease actual equipment requirements, and award will be made to the lowest-priced, responsive, and responsible bidder meeting all specified criteria. Pricing details will be incorporated into the BidBuy Purchase Order, with freight costs to be included in unit pricing.
