Summary

This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) for engineering and architectural professional services on an indefinite-quantity, indefinite-delivery (IDIQ) contract basis. IDOT seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive professional services including civil engineering, structural engineering, environmental services, survey and mapping, traffic engineering, and related technical support for various transportation projects throughout Illinois. The contract is structured as a statewide IDIQ agreement with an estimated annual value of approximately $5 million, though actual task orders will be issued as individual projects arise. Interested vendors must submit proposals by the specified deadline, with contract awards anticipated within 90 days of the closing date. The base contract term is for two years with options for two additional one-year renewal periods, allowing for extended engagement if performance is satisfactory and funding remains available. IDOT will evaluate proposals based on technical qualifications, project experience, staff expertise, quality assurance procedures, and pricing competitiveness.

The contract carries no minority or disadvantaged business set-asides, though IDOT encourages participation from all qualified firms. Pricing should be submitted on a time-and-materials basis with hourly labor rates clearly itemized by classification and discipline, plus direct expenses and overhead markups. There is no incumbent contractor, as this represents a new procurement opportunity. All work must comply with federal and state prevailing wage requirements applicable to IDOT projects, and firms must demonstrate current professional licenses and certifications appropriate to the services offered. Contractors must maintain insurance coverage including general liability and professional liability insurance with minimum limits specified in the RFP.
