UTV (Qty 4) - IVHQ- FY25

The State of Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, located in Adams County, is seeking to procure four utility terrain vehicles (UTVs) through a competitive procurement process. The contract specifications call for three smaller UTVs comparable to models like CFMoto Uforce 600, Polaris Ranger SP 570, Kubota RTV520, or Canam Defender, and one larger UTV similar to Polaris Ranger 1000 Northstar, Canam Defender Pro Ltd, or Kawasaki Ridge. All vehicles must include specific accessories such as hard enclosures, doors, tops, windshields, and required safety features. The procurement opportunity was posted on January 8, 2025, with proposals due by January 14, 2025, and requires vendors to provide new equipment with a one-year warranty. Delivery will be made directly to the Quincy Illinois Veterans Home at 1707 North 12th Street, with the contract term beginning upon final signature and concluding on June 30, 2025. Vendors must comply with comprehensive certification requirements outlined in the Standard Illinois Certifications document, which includes 33 specific compliance areas covering financial responsibility, ethical business practices, and various regulatory standards.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the Standard Illinois Certifications document includes provisions related to minority business participation. Vendors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 per occurrence in General Commercial Liability and Auto Liability, with $2,000,000 annual aggregate coverage. No subcontractors are permitted, and all vendors must demonstrate full compliance with state regulations, including non-delinquency in state taxes and adherence to ethical business practices. While the exact contract value is to be determined, the procurement involves the purchase of four specialized utility vehicles for the Veterans Home. The contract will be processed according to the State Prompt Payment Act, with payment contingent upon successful delivery and inspection of the vehicles. Vendors must also comply with prevailing wage requirements, federal funding provisions, and maintain ongoing certifications throughout the contract term, with potential penalties for non-compliance including contract termination, suspension, or debarment.
