Lincolnwood School District No. 74 is requesting sealed bids for the modernization of one elevator and the regular service and maintenance of two elevators beginning in April 2022. Bidders must submit all questions in writing to Athi Toufexis at email a.toufexis@studiogc.com. Replies will be issued to all bidders of record in the form of an addendum. Questions received less than five (5) weekdays before the bid due date cannot be answered. All bids must be accompanied by a Bid Bond in the form of a surety bond issued by a bonding company authorized to do business in Illinois, and on the U.S. Department of Treasury list of approved sureties, or a certified check or a cashier's check drawn on a bank authorized to do business in Illinois, made payable to the Board of Education in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the sum of the computed total amount of the bid. By submitting a bid, it is agreed that the Bid Bond will be forfeited if the bidder fails to execute the agreement or to furnish the Performance and Payment Bonds (for the modernization work) in conformity with the specifications within ten (10) days after notification of the award of the Agreement to such bidder. All bids must be accompanied by a sample agreement, the terms of which shall be subject to negotiation by or approval of legal counsel for the District. Each bidder expressly agrees that such bid may not be withdrawn for a period of sixty (60) days from the opening thereof. Withdrawal within such period shall subject the bidder to penalties and damages to the District to the extent that such withdrawal results in loss to the District. The Board of Education reserves the right to reject any and all bids or any part thereof, to waive any informalities, errors or irregularity in bids received or in the bidding process, and to accept the bid or bids that the Board of Education deems the most favorable to its interest after all bids have been examined and canvassed.
