Used Tire Regions 3 and 4

The State of Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is requesting bids for used tire removal services in Regions 3 and 4 under IFB 26-532EPA-LAND5-B-53185, with bids due July 24, 2026. The procurement carries a mandatory 16% Business Enterprise Program participation goal for minorities, women, and persons with disabilities — bidders failing to submit a completed BEP Utilization Plan with documentation of good faith efforts will be rendered non-responsive.

Bidders must submit electronic bids exclusively through BidBuy and include a Vendor Disclosure or IPG Active Registered Vendor Disclosure, an Offer to the State of Illinois, a Contract, and a completed BEP Utilization Plan. A Pre-Submission Conference may be conducted with mandatory attendance; specific dates and site visit information are posted on BidBuy. All bids must remain firm for 90 days following opening.

Award will be made to the lowest-priced responsive and responsible bidder. The state evaluates pricing using a standardized calculation based on a hypothetical scenario comprising a 150-mile mobilization, 100-ton removal, and 150-mile transportation distance, combining mobilization charges, per-ton removal charges, and per-ton-mile transportation costs. No bid bond or performance bond is required. Bidders may claim the Illinois Business Preference or Domestic Product Preference under the Illinois Procurement Code by submitting the required affidavits or designations on the Offer Form. The resulting contract may be partially or wholly funded with federal funds; specific funding percentages and dollar amounts will be disclosed upon notice of award. All contracts will incorporate Standard Terms and Conditions and Illinois Standard Certifications. The state reserves the right to amend the solicitation, reject any or all bids, waive minor defects, and conduct evaluations under the Illinois Procurement Code and applicable state and federal regulations.
