Description

The City of Chicago is soliciting a contractor to provide vehicle safety inspection testing services for its fleet. The contractor must operate an Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Official Testing Station, employ certified safety testers, and perform comprehensive inspections (brakes, lights, horns, etc.) on single‑ and dual‑wheel‑axle vehicles, issuing safety‑certification stickers for passing units. Up to 130 inspections per axle type and 130 stickers will be required over a five‑year contract, with re‑inspections at no charge after repairs. The award ceiling is $250,000 and the contract may be extended once for up to 181 days. • Must be an IDOT‑certified Official Testing Station and maintain certification. • Perform inspections on city‑owned vehicles and provide safety‑certification stickers; re‑inspect failed vehicles at no cost. • Deliver monthly subcontractor‑payment reports and comply with immediate payment terms (invoices payable within 60 days).

Budget estimate

$200,000 – $250,000

The solicitation caps total award at $250,000 for a five‑year term. Assuming the contractor utilizes the full scope (130 single‑axle, 130 dual‑axle inspections and 130 stickers) at the posted unit price of $1,000 each, the potential revenue is $390,000, but the contract ceiling limits actual budget to $250,000. Realistically, actual earnings will fall between $200,000 (if fewer inspections are needed) and the $250,000 maximum. Factors influencing the range include the actual number of vehicles inspected each year and any optional extension.
