Illinois to issue RFP for $230M veterans home project
Illinois – The state’s Capital Development Board (CDB) and Department of Veterans’ Affairs will host a vendor forum on November 4 for the design and construction of a new veterans home. The forum will be from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Quincy Veteran’s Home.
As part of the Rebuild Illinois capital plan, the state is investing $230 million in the Quincy Veterans’ Home, the oldest and largest veterans home in the state. It currently provides housing for 315 veterans.
The vendor forum will include a formal presentation where site plans, demolition, utilities, renovations, new construction, and the design-build process will be discussed. Attendees will receive information on the prequalification and registration requirements.
A networking expo will follow the formal presentation, where contractors, architects, and engineers interested in leading a design-build team will be hosting booths to connect with potential partners. Following the forum, the CDB will issue a request for proposals (RFP) for design and construction of the new veterans home.
