26-557THA-ENGCO-B-50841 | I-25-6003 Tri-State(I-294) Parking lot demo at Hinsdale Oasis and O'hare Oasis MP25.0 & MP37.9

The contract, identified as 26-557THA-ENGCO-B-50841 or I-25-6003, involves demolition work for parking lots at two locations along the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) specifically at Hinsdale Oasis and O'Hare Oasis at mileposts 25.0 and 37.9 in Downers Grove, Illinois. Administered by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, this solicitation requests construction services including labor, materials, and equipment necessary to complete the specified demolition and associated site work following Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) standard specifications, Tollway Supplemental Specifications, and applicable special provisions. The contractor is required to maintain an office in Illinois and complete all work by September 16, 2026, with a contract expiration one year later. Deliverables are considered works for hire and are owned exclusively by the state upon acceptance, which is contingent upon inspections conducted at the project site by the Tollway. This procurement employs a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) award strategy based on a formula that subtracts bid credits (up to $50,000) from the base bid, emphasizing cost sensitivity while ensuring technical compliance. While unit prices for many work items are not pre-established, several fixed allowances totaling $215,000 are specified for contingencies such as unforeseen erosion control, utility protection, and apprenticeship provisions. The contract uses a state-specific form rather than standardized Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, relying on Illinois Tollway contractual provisions that address terms such as anti-trust assignment, contract modifications, organizational conflict of interest, and compliance with human rights laws. Security and personnel requirements include background checks, prohibitions on employing state employees, and labor union obligations. Vendor responsibilities encompass adherence to all applicable laws, maintaining quality programs, and cooperating with audits and record retention for five years post-contract. Certifications and registrations require Illinois state vendor registration through the Illinois Procurement Gateway, including disclosures concerning business size, socioeconomic status, and affirmative reporting on potential conflicts or past legal issues; however, no federal Unique Entity Identifiers (UEI) or CAGE codes are mandated. Submission of proposals is exclusively electronic via the Illinois BidBuy system, with strict deadlines and no acceptance of paper or alternative media formats. Invoicing and project correspondence are managed electronically through the Tollway’s web-based project management system, though specific payment office and contracting officer contacts are not provided in the document. Overall, this contract defines a detailed framework for demolition work that balances state-specific legal, procedural, and operational requirements under
