FY2025 CDBG South Sidewalks Phase I

The City of Bloomington, Illinois is inviting sealed bids for the FY2025 CDBG South Sidewalks Phase I project, with submissions due via the City's e-Procurement Portal, OpenGov, by February 5, 2025, at 10:00 am CST. The project involves constructing or repairing sidewalks on the south side of Bloomington, with detailed scope and attachments available for review. Contracts for this project are expected to range between $50,000 and $500,000, and interested parties can find additional information and submit their bids through the provided online portal. The project emphasizes compliance with local public works regulations, including the requirement for a project labor agreement for projects exceeding $50,000 that utilize public funds, unless such an agreement would not serve the City's interests in cost, safety, quality, or labor stability. These agreements must align with Illinois Prevailing Wage standards and cannot mandate union membership or fair share payments from employees. The City’s policy aims to promote minority-owned and female-owned businesses and encourage the utilization of minority and female workers, although project labor agreements are not mandated for private development projects or private business activities. The contract is managed by the Illinois Water/Department of Environmental Services, with Misty Shafer serving as the primary contact for inquiries. The project’s NAICS code is 541370, indicating its focus on engineering and technical consulting services related to construction and infrastructure. Interested bidders are encouraged to review the full scope of work and submit their proposals by the specified deadline to participate in this public works initiative.
