Tractor for Snow crew - IVHQ- FY26

The State of Illinois, specifically Adams County, is seeking to procure a tractor with snow plow capabilities for the Quincy Illinois Veterans Home through a state contract opportunity. The procurement involves acquiring a new tractor with precise specifications, including a 4-wheel drive diesel engine with a minimum of 20 HP, a hard cab enclosure, LED lighting, agricultural tires, and rear wheel weights. The tractor must be accompanied by a break-away snow plow attachment no wider than 72 inches and a drop spreader. All equipment must be newly manufactured, of the current model year, and include a full manufacturer's warranty. The contract is set to run from the last dated signature until June 30, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of October 10, 2025. Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating compliance with the technical specifications and be prepared to deliver the equipment directly to the Quincy Illinois Veterans Home. The procurement requires vendors to meet specific technical requirements and adhere to state regulations, including prevailing wage requirements and standard certification processes.

The contract does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must provide substantial insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in general commercial liability and $1,000,000 in auto liability coverage. The total maximum payment will be determined by the State prior to contract execution, and funding is contingent on appropriation availability. Subcontractors are permitted, but must also comply with all state requirements. The State reserves the right to terminate the contract if sufficient funds are not allocated. While a specific budget range is not detailed, vendors should be prepared to provide competitive pricing for a new tractor with snow plow capabilities. Additional requirements include background check compliance, adherence to anti-trust regulations, and ensuring all work is performed within the United States. Potential vendors must carefully review the attached standard terms and conditions document, which outlines comprehensive administrative, financial, and legal expectations for state procurement activities.
