Bilter Road Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Engineering Services

The City of Aurora, Illinois, is seeking qualified engineering consultants to provide professional services for the Bilter Road Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) project. This project focuses on the segment of Bilter Road stretching from the Illinois Prairie Path (Batavia Branch) to the I-88 Westbound Ramps, including the Prairie Path itself and up to 100 linear feet on each approach to Bilter Road. The effort is federally funded, covering certain engineering phases and the forthcoming construction work, which is estimated to cost approximately $1.53 million. The solicitation, identified as number 26-011, was posted on January 29, 2026, with a response deadline of February 24, 2026. The City’s Engineering Office in Aurora is responsible for overseeing the procurement, with Tim Weidner serving as the primary contact for the project. While the procurement pertains to engineering services in Aurora, Illinois, the additional documents referenced under the same solicitation number relate to a separate and unrelated contract from Santa Rosa County, Florida, involving generator repair and maintenance services. These documents outline a one-year contract with possible renewals, detailing the scope, insurance, invoicing, and termination procedures for generator servicing at county facilities. However, these generator service contracts bear no direct relevance to the Aurora HSIP engineering solicitation, which is focused solely on improvements and safety enhancements along Bilter Road. The City of Aurora’s procurement seeks expert engineering consultation to ensure compliance with federal and local standards for the safety upgrade, facilitating design and oversight linked directly to the federally funded highway safety project.
