AI Contract Overview
The solicitation for three vertical storage units under IFB No. 176019, issued by Metra in Illinois, requires bids to be submitted electronically via the Bonfire portal by June 11, 2026, at 2:00 P.M. Chicago time, with questions due by May 21, 2026. The contract is governed under FTA-funded regulations rather than standard FAR clauses, triggering mandatory certifications including Buy America compliance for procurements over $150,000, a Corrupt Practices Act Affidavit, a Contractor’s Price Certification, and Certification on Debarment and Suspension for both prime contractors and subcontractors. The procurement is subject to Title VI non-discrimination requirements, lobbying restrictions, and Recycled Products guidelines, with all deliveries required to meet F.O.B. Destination terms at Metra’s Cal Ave. Storehouse in Chicago, IL, and additional specified locations including 47th Street and Western Avenue. The contract enforces strict compliance with federal environmental laws including the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, NEPA, RCRA, and CERCLA, alongside labor standards under Davis-Bacon and the Copeland Act, requiring weekly certified payroll submissions and adherence to applicable wage determinations. All equipment must be delivered fully serviced and ready for immediate operation, with a one-year warranty covering defects in material and workmanship, and inspection rights extended to Metra, RTA, IDOT, USDOT, and the Comptroller General. The award will be made on a Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable basis, with no evaluation weighting given to non-cost factors. Offerors must submit all referenced exhibits, including the signed contract page and specification documents dated May 5, 2026, and incomplete submissions will render bids non-responsive. Although the contract value is not stated, regulatory triggers such as the $150,000 Buy America threshold suggest the contract exceeds this amount. The offeror must also comply with DOT Prime/Subcontractor Form requirements for all subcontractors, and failure to certify compliance with any mandatory clause may result in bid rejection or contract termination. The procurement operates under federal financial oversight, with audit rights and record access granted to the government, though payment details and contracting officer information are not explicitly named.
