26-416CMS-BOPM4-B-49691 | JPMC Plumbing by Region

The contract titled "26-416CMS-BOPM4-B-49691 | JPMC Plumbing by Region" is a multi-region plumbing repair and maintenance services agreement issued by the Illinois Central Management Services (CMS) under the Property Management agency. The solicitation, posted in late 2025 with a bid opening scheduled for November 12, 2025, addresses general and emergency plumbing services across multiple designated regions within the state of Illinois, with all work to be performed exclusively on state premises. The contract spans an initial term from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030, with a cumulative maximum potential duration of ten years including renewals or extensions. It establishes detailed scope parameters limiting repair jobs to projects under $50,000 without prior Capital Development Board approval for major structural alterations. Vendors are required to provide all labor, tools, materials, and equipment, comply with Illinois prevailing wage and public works labor laws, and maintain a one-year guarantee on workmanship and materials. Work must be conducted during times that do not disrupt state operations, and vendors must maintain comprehensive records, submit timely invoices within 30 days, and report annually via the CMS Bureau of Strategic Sourcing on veteran hiring and subcontractor utilization. Awarded via a competitive Invitation for Bid process emphasizing lowest priced, responsive, and responsible bidders, the contract includes multiple vendors awarded for different regions with primary and secondary distinctions, totaling an estimated commitment of over $14.7 million for a 48-month period. Contract administration mandates submission of invoices to CMS’s fiscal department in Springfield, Illinois, with payments subject to statutory offsets and certifications. The contract incorporates clauses covering termination for cause or convenience, confidentiality under Illinois FOIA, indemnification, force majeure, and subcontractor disclosures, alongside specific provisions restricting the employment of current state employees and allowing the State to conduct background checks on vendor personnel. Performance metrics require rapid response times—8 hours for routine and 2 hours for emergency requests—and completion of detailed work orders for all tasks. Contract documents also regulate packaging, invoicing, and compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, including labor and intellectual property statutes. In addition, state agencies are guided to utilize primary vendors first for service requests, escalating to secondary vendors only under certain conditions, with oversight mechanisms for vendor performance, complaints, and contract enforcement including termination rights. Pre-bid and vendor disclosure materials further detail submission requirements and compliance certifications necessary for participation and contract execution.
