Section 6RS

INTERIM COMPLETION DATE – STAGE A

The Contractor shall complete all required work associated with Stage A on or before 11:59 PM Friday, May 14, 2027 to allow Stage D of the 64R72 Contract to be implemented.

The work associated with the Stage A construction shall include (but is not limited to):

• North Mill Road full depth pavement, concrete curb and gutter, drainage, and safety features

After the INTERIM COMPLETION DATE – STAGE A, an additional 5 Working Days will be allowed to complete all other remaining clean-up work and punch list items required for Stage A completion which do not impact Stage D of Contract 64R72.

FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE WORK ON TIME

Should the Contractor fail to complete the work on or before the interim completion date as specified in the Special Provisions for the staged traffic configuration for START DATE – STAGE A, or WINTER SHUTDOWN 2026, or INTERIM COMPLETION DATE – STAGE A, or INTERIM COMPLETION DATE – STAGE B or within such extended time as may have been allowed by the Department, the Contractor shall be liable to the Department in the amount of SIX THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS ($6,775), not as a penalty but as liquidated damages, for each calendar day overrun in the contract time or such extended time as may have been allowed. Such damages may be deducted by the Department for any monies due to the Contractor.

In fixing the damages set herein, the desire is to establish a certain mode of calculation for the work because the Department’s actual loss in the event of delay, cannot be predetermined, would be difficult of ascertainment, and a matter of argument and unprofitable litigation. This said mode is an equitable rule for measurement of the Department’s actual loss and fairly takes into account the loss of use of the roadway if the project is delayed in completion. The Department shall not be required to provide any actual loss in order to recover these liquidated damages provided herein, as said damages are very difficult to ascertain. Furthermore, no provisions of this clause shall be construed as a penalty, as such is not the intention of the parties.

Section 6RS

A calendar day is every day on the calendar and starts at 12:00 midnight and ends at the following 12:00 midnight, twenty-four hours later.

COORDINATION WITH ADJACENT AND/ OR OVERLAPPING CONTRACTS

This contract abuts and/ or overlaps with other concurrent and future Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and Illinois Tollway Contracts as listed below.

Each contract includes work items requiring close coordination between the various Contractors regarding the sequence and timing for execution of work items in accordance with Article 105.08 of the Standards Specifications and as herein noted.

This contract also includes critical work items that affect the future staging of traffic and/ or the completion dates of other contracts. Each of the contracts depends on certain portions of the work to be completed by others in order to complete the program on schedule. These critical items along with their completion dates are listed herein.

The following paragraph shall be added to the beginning of Article 105.08. “The Contractor shall identify such work items (including the critical items listed in the Contract and these Special Provisions) at the beginning of the contract and coordinate the sequence and timing for their execution and completion with the other Contractors through the Engineer. All of these work items shall be identified as separate line items in the Contractor’s proposed Construction Progress Schedule. Additional compensation or the extension of contract time will not be allowed for the progress of the work items affected by the lack of such coordination by the Contractor”.

The adjacent and/or overlapping Contracts will be:

• I-39 Reconstruction Contracts:

o IDOT Contract 64C24 (I-39 Mainline) o IDOT Contract 64R71 (Harrison Avenue) o IDOT Contract 64R72 (US 20)

• Other Adjacent Contracts:

o IDOT Contract 64R15 (FAP 525 (US 20) Hot-Mix Asphalt Resurfacing) o Tollway Project Wheeler/Ispen Road

No adjustments will be made for delay or suspension of the work due to the fault of the Contractor in coordinating project schedule, staging and work items with adjacent Contracts.

Some of the Contracts noted above may have detours implemented. The anticipated seasons or timeframe of the detours are listed below:

• 64C24 o No detours anticipated

• 64R71 o No detours anticipated

• 64R15 o No known detours

Section 6RS

• 64R72 o No known detours

• Tollway Project Wheeler/Ispen Road o No known detours

The list below indicates all such items of the work which have specific completion dates. It is essential that the Contractor responsible for the work complete these items on or before the date indicated so that other contracts may plan and execute their work accordingly.

Interim Completion Dates and Coordination with Adjacent Contract 64R71 The construction limits for Contract 64V52 and Contract 64R71 may overlap, however, it is anticipated that this Contract will be completed prior to the start of the 64V52 contract.

Contract 64R71 is scheduled to be completed and open to traffic by Friday, November 21, 2025 (plus an additional 30 Working Days for cleanup and punch list).

Interim Completion Dates and Coordination with Adjacent Contract 64C24 The construction limits for Contract 64V52 and Contract 64C24 will overlap.

Any damages resulting from the shared use of access facilities or overlapping work area shall be repaired by the Contractor which caused the damage at his own expense and at no additional cost to the Contract.

Basis of Payment. All expenses incurred by the Contractor by reason of compliance with these requirements, unless noted otherwise, shall be considered as included in and completely covered by the contract unit prices for the various items included in the contract.

COOPERATION BETWEEN CONTRACTORS

Contract 64V52 will be required to coordinate with 64R72. The Resident Engineers of both contracts and a minimum of one representative from each Contractor shall conduct a joint meeting to discuss completed 64R72 work and planned construction sequencing of the 64V52 contract at the start of the 64V52 contract. Following the initial meeting, regular coordination between the two contracts will be required in order to minimize/eliminate conflicts in traffic staging, and to maximize safety of both the traveling public and of the respective work zones along Mill Road, Service Drive, and Cemetery Loop Road. The Department may require the Contractor to attend additional coordination meetings at a time and location determined by the Department.

The cooperation between work under Contract 64V52 and Contract 64R72 is essential due to the adjacent limits of construction and shared maintenance of traffic responsibilities along US 20 and Mill Rd. All traffic staging configurations and changes to staging along US 20 and Mill Rd shall be coordinated between the contractors performing the work for 64V52 and 64R72. The Contractor shall make no claims against the Department for additional compensation due to delays due to the 64R72 Contract.

The Contractor shall conduct its work in a respective manner and shall cooperate with such other parties to cause as little interference as possible with such other work and as the Department may also direct. If there is a difference of

Section 6RS opinion as to the respective rights of the Contractor and others doing work within the limits of or adjacent to the work, the Engineer will decide the order and coordination of the work. The Engineer’s decision shall be final and binding on the Contractor. The Contractor shall make no claims against the Department for additional compensation due to delays or other conditions created by the operations of such other parties.

The Contractor is advised that certain operations will involve coordination with Department personnel and Contractors currently performing work on or adjacent to this project for the Department and other agencies. The Contractor shall cooperate to the fullest extent with the Department and the Contractors working on adjacent projects in compliance with Articles 105.07 and 105.08. Any inconveniences or delays caused by the Contractor in complying with this requirement shall be considered incidental to the contract and no additional compensation will be allowed.

The Department and the Engineer shall be notified in writing by the Contractor at least 48 hours prior to the start of any operation requiring cooperating with others. All other agencies, unless otherwise noted, will be notified in writing by the Contractor ten (10) days prior to the start of any such operation.
