TDF - PIF Asphalt Outer Perimeter

The Illinois Department of Human Services is seeking bids for the oil and chip seal of approximately 5,300 square yards of outer perimeter roadway at the Treatment and Detention Facility. This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicitation, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for September 22, 2022 and bids due by October 6, 2022 at 2:00 pm. The resulting contract will have an initial term from the date of execution until June 30, 2023, with no renewal options. Vendors must submit their bids electronically through the BidBuy system, as the State has implemented a policy for electronic submissions only. The solicitation includes a contract-specific Business Enterprise Program (BEP) participation goal of 8%, but no Veteran Small Business (VSB) goal. Pricing for this contract is firm, and the State may partially or fully fund the contract with federal funds. Vendors who hire qualified veterans and certain ex-offenders may be eligible for tax credits.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The solicitation does not include any listed award values or budget ranges, so bidders should continue to monitor BidBuy for any updates to the due date, time, or other details.
