Bidders must submit their quotes electronically via the BidBuy portal by December 1, 2026, including required attachments such as the IPG Active Registered Vendor Disclosure, an Offer to the State of Illinois, and a BEP Utilization Plan. Key requirements include maintaining general commercial liability insurance of $2,000,000 aggregate, auto liability of $1,000,000, and a performance bond for quotes exceeding $150,000. Additionally, the contractor must comply with the State Prompt Payment Act, prevailing wage laws, and HIPAA regulations where applicable. Final acceptance of the project is contingent upon a walkthrough and approval by the Chief Engineer, Safety Team, CEO, and COO.
