About this file
This is an Addendum to Contract I-25-2014 issued by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority for an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) project along the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) between Mile Post 33.6 and Mile Post 40.0 in Cook County, Illinois. The document involves multiple parties including the Illinois Tollway, potential contractors, third-party fiber optic owners like Zayo, and various equipment and infrastructure providers. The addendum includes pre-bid meeting minutes, responses to potential bidder questions, and modifications to the original contract specifications.
The contract covers comprehensive ITS infrastructure installation, including fiber optic communications, ATM systems, vehicle detection systems, CCTV cameras, ITS device installations, power and communication equipment, and removal of existing infrastructure. The project has a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 15% with a contract value that includes multiple allowance items totaling $335,000 (such as $100,000 for additional ITS work, $55,000 for railroad flagging, and $165,000 for the contractor's quality program). The project timeline spans from September 15, 2025 (anticipated Notice-to-Proceed) to April 12, 2027 (contract completion), with substantial completion targeted for March 22, 2027. Key technical components include installing new fiber optic cables, network switches, and integrating various communication and transportation monitoring systems along the tollway.

The following shall be the criteria for the acceptance of the cable:
The test results shall show that the dB/km loss does not exceed +3% of the factory test or
1% of the cable's published production loss. However, no event shall exceed 0.10 dB. If any event is detected above 0.10 dB, the Contractor shall replace or repair the fiber including that event point.
The total loss of the cable (dB), less events, shall not exceed the manufacturer's production specifications as follows: 0.4 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.3 dB/km at 1550 nm.
If the total loss exceeds these specifications, the Contractor shall replace or repair the cable run at no additional cost to the Illinois Tollway, both labor and materials.
Splicing Requirements. All optical fiber splicing shall be performed using the fusion splicing technique, and according to the latest version of the manufacturer's cable installation procedures; industry accepted installation standards, codes, and practices; or as directed by the
Engineer. A fusion splice machine shall be used to splice all optical fiber. All splicing equipment shall be cleaned and calibrated according to the manufacturer's recommendations prior to each splicing session at each location.
J-348E
All splices shall match fiber and buffer tube colors unless shown otherwise in the Plans. Where a fiber cable is to be accessed for lateral or drop signal insertion, only the buffer tube containing the fiber to be accessed shall be opened and only the actual fiber to be accessed shall be cut.
If a fiber end is not intended for use, the fiber shall be cut to a length equal to that of the fiber to be used and neatly laid into the splice tray. Any fibers exposed during splicing shall be treated with a protective coating and placed in a protective sleeve or housing to protect the fiber from damage or contaminants.
All splicing shall be performed as shown on the plans. All splice locations must be identified in the Record Drawings. Fusion splices shall not be paid for separately and shall be included in the cost of fiber cable installation.
The splice loss for a SMF fusion splice shall not exceed a maximum bidirectional average of 0.1 dB per splice. Any splices that exceed allowable attenuation shall be repaired or replaced at no cost to the Illinois Tollway.
Any ancillary components required to complete installation include but not limited to:
• Fiber Optic Jumpers Cables/Patch Cords
• Fiber Optic Pigtails
• Fiber Optic Fusion Splices
• Buffer Tube Fan-Out Kits
• Moisture and Water Sealants
Transfer of Ownership for Fiber Optic Facilities. The Engineer shall follow the below procedure to request for the Tollway to resume beneficial use of the active fiber and accept locating & maintenance responsibilities from the contractor.
• The Engineer shall coordinate final walkthrough within 48 hours of splice completion and shall provide as-built/red line drawings for the complete fiber optic system construction within the Contract.
• Illinois Tollway Fiber Optic Maintenance Vendor (ITFOV) shall be allowed five (5) calendars days to schedule their representative on site for walkthrough and perform required testing.
• The Engineer shall ensure the contractor resolve (if any) issues identified during the walkthrough.
The Illinois Tollway will accept ownership and maintenance responsibilities of the fiber optic cable (FOC) system at the recommendation of the ITFOV.
Method of Measurement. Fiber optic connection hardware will be measured for payment per each in place installed and tested. Fusion splices will not be measured for payment.
Basis of Payment. This work will be paid for at the contract unit price per each for FIBER OPTIC CONNECTION HARDWARE of the type specified, installed, tested and accepted by the Illinois Tollway. Fusion splices will not be paid for separately and will be included in the cost of THE FIBER OPTIC CONNECTION HARDWARE.
