Wheelchair Lifts for Security Vans - IVHQ- FY25

The State of Illinois, specifically the Quincy Illinois Veterans Home located in Adams County, is seeking a vendor to purchase and install two wheelchair lifts for Ford Transit security vans. The procurement involves supplying two commercial wheelchair lifts with specific technical requirements, including a dual parallel arm lift with a 1000 lb weight limit, full ADA and NHTSA compliance, and an integrated emergency back-up pump. Deliverables must include commercial wheelchair-compatible flooring, wheelchair occupant restraint systems, and supplemental seating configurations. The contract requires the vendor to be a certified installer located within 350 miles of the Quincy facility, with strict timelines for lift ordering (within 10 days of contract execution) and installation (within 30 days of lift delivery). The contract will run from execution through June 30, 2025, with the contract opportunity posted on April 21, 2025, and proposals due by April 29, 2025. Vendor qualifications include the ability to complete all wheelchair lift modifications without subcontractors and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the contract documentation. The contract will be executed at 1707 North 12th St, Quincy, IL, and is funded through state appropriations subject to availability of funds from the Illinois General Assembly. While the exact award value was not definitively stated, the contract is structured as a firm-price agreement with the total maximum payment to be determined prior to execution. The procurement appears to be solely focused on the Quincy Illinois Veterans Home and does not indicate multiple award possibilities or recurring contract opportunities. Vendors must be prepared to meet stringent technical specifications, including providing wheelchair lifts that meet complex mobility and safety requirements for veteran facility transportation needs. Insurance requirements include $1,000,000 in general commercial and auto liability coverage, indicating the serious nature of the equipment and installation requirements.
