Bidders must follow the instructions provided as an attachment to their Part 1 Notification in order to submit bid assurance collateral via ACH.

In order to submit bid assurance collateral via ACH, bidders must first request to receive payment instructions from the IPA by email to charles.kudia@illinois.gov and sanjay.patel@illinois.gov. A valid fax number for the paying entity is required in the email to the IPA. Once the request has been received, the IPA will provide via fax instructions for the submission of bid assurance collateral, including the information you requested in addition to the IPA’s W-9.
