IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ARCHITECT/ENGINEERS SUBMITTING PROPOSALS FOR CDB PROJECTS
Illinois
Procurement Gateway
New procedures provide for annual,
electronic submission of Financial Disclosures and Certifications. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement
Office has made available the Illinois Procurement Gateway (IPG). The IPG
(https://ipg.vendorreg.com/) is a streamlined,
online process that allows those doing business with the state (including contractors,
subcontractors, architects, engineers and consultants) to enter, organize, and
submit information, certification and disclosure documents online, in advance
of a particular procurement. We encourage all those that do business with
the Capital Development Board to register in the IPG located at https://ipg.vendorreg.com.
Use of
the IPG is optional. You will have the option of submitting a bid or 255 form
via paper, or with an IPG registration. CDB is incorporating the option
to use an IPG registration number in its solicitation documents.
Effective August 15, 2014, all solicitations will allow the use of the number
in place of certain paper documents. If
your IPG registration has not been completed and approved by the submittal date,
please use the standard paper submittal option.
IPG FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who is Required to Register with the
IPG?
Registration in the IPG is optional.
Vendors may continue to submit bids and offers using the standard paper
forms. Registration into the IPG does, however, result in:
1.
A reduction in paper forms required with each bid/offer.
2.
Reduced time to review each bid or offer.
3.
An online directory of vendors.
The State uses information submitted
through the IPG to review vendor information in advance of submitting bids and
offers for contracts. Upon satisfactory registration, vendors receive a
registration number that may be used in place of paper submission of required
forms.
When Should Vendors Register?
Vendors
that would like to use the IPG registration number with a bid/offer must
register, and receive a registration number, prior to submitting a bid or
offer. This number must be placed on the bid/offer form. Please
allow adequate time for the review and processing of the documents submitted
online.
