To be eligible, the vendor must be a manufacturer-authorized representative certified to install the required flooring system and provide a letter of certification. Additional qualifications include having been in business for at least two years and providing a list of five similar projects completed within the last two years. Subcontracting is strictly prohibited, as the prime vendor must perform 100 percent of the work. Mandatory insurance requirements include General Commercial Liability of 1 million dollars per occurrence and 2 million dollars annual aggregate, Auto Liability of 1 million dollars per occurrence, and legally required Worker's Compensation. The contract also mandates compliance with Illinois Public Works and Prevailing Wage laws. Payment is generally issued upon completion of the contract, and vendors must submit invoices by July 31 for services rendered through June 30 to avoid potential claims through the Illinois Court of Claims.
