Wheelchair lift and install

The State of Illinois, specifically for the Quincy Illinois Veterans Home in St. Clair County, is seeking a qualified vendor to purchase and professionally install a wheelchair lift system on a 2026 Ford Transit van. The procurement requires the vendor to supply and install a dual parallel arm commercial wheelchair lift with transmission interlock system that meets ADA and NHTSA standards, along with wheelchair occupant restraint systems, commercial wheelchair-compatible flooring, a two-man flip-and-fold seat, and a single-person jump seat. The vendor will be responsible for picking up the vehicle from Springfield, Illinois, transporting it to the installation facility, and delivering the modified vehicle to the Quincy Illinois Veterans Home. All installation work must be performed by certified technicians, with a maximum vehicle possession time of 21 calendar days. The contract has an initial term beginning upon final execution and ending June 30, 2026, with a maximum total contract term not exceeding ten years. The submission deadline for this opportunity is October 10, 2025, with the contract opportunity originally posted on October 6, 2025.

The contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. No subcontracting is permitted, meaning the bidding vendor must perform all installation work directly. Vendors must maintain specific insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in general commercial liability insurance per occurrence (with a $2,000,000 annual aggregate), $1,000,000 in auto liability coverage, and workers' compensation insurance as required by law. All work must be performed in the United States, and all equipment must be brand new and unused, with manufacturers' warranties transferred to the State. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the procurement will be processed through the BidBuy Purchase Order system with firm pricing. The vendor will be responsible for all freight costs and assumes risk of loss until delivery to the facility. Compliance with federal, state, and local laws, as well as prevailing wage requirements where applicable, will be mandatory for the selected vendor.
