This contract, designated I-25-4768 (I-490), involves grading and drainage improvements along a segment of the Illinois Tollway from Beeline Drive to Supreme Drive, specifically between mileposts 3.0 and 4.0. Managed by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority with performance located in Downers Grove, Illinois, the project encompasses earth excavation, structure excavation, installation of concrete end sections, select backfill, erosion and sediment control, dust control watering, and related site grading activities. The scope mandates adherence to IDOT Standard Specifications and Tollway Supplemental Specifications, while enforcing compliance with contract-specific Special Provisions, which include allowances for railroad flagging services and strict insurance, human rights, and funding-related provisions. The multi-item pay schedule outlines extensive excavation and drainage infrastructure work, though actual unit prices and total contract value are not disclosed. The procurement process emphasizes a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) award approach, where price competitiveness is paramount but accompanied by mandatory demonstration of good faith efforts to achieve Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) participation goals. Bidders must submit comprehensive utilization plans and evidence of outreach, with failure to comply risking bid disqualification. Technical and operational criteria include equipment ownership, material sourcing, subcontractor qualifications, and compliance with reporting and documentation obligations. The work period extends to September 24, 2027, with a contract expiration in 2029 and options for renewal. Contract administration involves electronic bid submissions exclusively through the BidBuy portal, inspection and acceptance at the project site, and detailed recordkeeping to support audit and FOIA compliance. Special contract conditions include a prohibition on contingent fees, a minority contractor opportunity fee, and strict performance and payment bond requirements, underscoring the regulatory and fiscal rigor governing the delivery of this transportation infrastructure improvement.
