This is Addendum No. 2 to Professional Services Bulletin 26-1 issued by the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (Illinois Tollway) on March 19, 2026. The bulletin advertises nine professional services contracts for design, construction management, land acquisition, and facilities services across the Illinois Tollway system. Statements of Interest (SOIs) are due by 4:30:00 p.m. Central Time on March 27, 2026, submitted electronically through the Trimble Unity Construct platform. An optional pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for March 12, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, with a virtual option via Microsoft Teams; both require registration. The deadline for questions is March 17, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. The nine items include construction corridor and construction management services for the Elgin O'Hare Western Access project (Item 1, estimated $75-100M), Tri-State Tollway interchange reconstruction (Item 2, estimated $25-50M), system-wide design services on-call (Item 3, $3M upper limit), facilities design services on-call (Item 4, $3M upper limit), system-wide construction management on-call (Items 5 and 6, $3M each), facilities construction management on-call (Item 7, $3M upper limit), land acquisition services on-call (Item 8, $2M upper limit), and Phase II engineering for the West Landside Reserve Area (Item 9, estimated $150-200M). Contract selection is anticipated for May 2026, with estimated Board approval in June 2026 and Notice to Proceed in August 2026. Addendum No. 2 revises the scope and prequalification requirements for Items 1 and 2, updates key personnel requirements for Item 7, and provides responses to nine submitted questions regarding DBE certification documentation, subconsultant participation, key personnel requirements, and P4G program availability.

Each contract includes Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals ranging from 19 to 30 percent and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) participation goals of 3 percent, with firms required to demonstrate good faith efforts to meet or exceed these goals or request waivers with documented justification. Firms must be prequalified by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) in specified categories and must disclose any known or potential conflicts of interest. The Direct Labor Multiplier for Phase I and II services is 2.8, and for Phase III Construction Management services is also 2.8, while personnel permanently assigned to Illinois Tollway facilities use a 2.5 multiplier. Payment will not be issued for costs incurred in the preceding calendar year if invoices are not received by February 28th of the subsequent fiscal year. Prime Consultants must self-perform no less than 40 percent of the work, and teams are limited to three participants. Required submissions include Statements of Interest with organizational charts, relevant project experience (minimum three projects from the past five years), Key Personnel resumes and availability information (Exhibits A and D), current obligations documentation (Exhibit C), DBE/VOSB participation plans with current certification letters (Exhibits F and H), vendor disclosures, and Illinois Tollway Standard Business Terms and Conditions.

QUESTIONS: The Tollway has received the following questions pertaining to PSB 26-1 via the SOI Mailbox. The Tollway offers the following responses:

Question 1: Given the ongoing transitional recertification of DBE firms, please confirm that use of firms listed in the Illinois Unified Certification Program (ILUCP) DBE Directory can be used towards DBE credit. Also confirm what documents are acceptable to show DBE status?

Answer: Please consult the Illinois Unified Certification Program (“ILUCP”) DBE Directory as a reference source for DBEs and the City of Chicago, the County of Cook M/WBE directories as reference sources for M/WBEs firms certified by the City of Chicago or the County of Cook, or the Small Business Administration SBA 8(a) directory for SBA 8(a)s certified by the Small Business Administration. Please see links below for each directory:

• ILUCP: https://webapps.dot.illinois.gov/UCP/ExternalSearch

• City of Chicago’s M/WBE Directory: https://chicago.mwdbe.com/

• County of Cook, Illinois: https://cookcounty.diversitycompliance.com/

• Small Business Administration’s SBA 8(a) Directory: https://www.sba.gov/federal-contracting/contracting-assistance-programs/8a-business-development-program Evidence of certification may include the certification letter or a screenshot/print out from the source of certification.

https://app.e-builder.net/ https://app.e-builder.net/ https://webapps.dot.illinois.gov/UCP/ExternalSearch https://chicago.mwdbe.com/ https://cookcounty.diversitycompliance.com/ https://www.sba.gov/federal-contracting/contracting-assistance-programs/8a-business-development-program https://www.sba.gov/federal-contracting/contracting-assistance-programs/8a-business-development-program

Question 2: If a firm is participating only as a subconsultant and not as the Prime Consultant, is the firm required to access eBuilder/TUC or upload any materials?

Answer: Only the Prime consultant submits the Statement of Interest and required documents through eBuilder/TUC. Subconsultants do not upload files and should coordinate with the Prime consultant in accordance with the submittal instructions of PSB 26-1.

Question 3: Can you confirm if a Project Engineer is a key personnel requirement for Item 8?

Answer: No. A Project Engineer is not required for Item 8 and Exhibit A has been updated accordingly.

Question 4: Is the Reverse P4G Program available for this PSB?

Answer: Yes. Refer to 2.6 PARTNERING FOR GROWTH PROGRAM GUIDELINES (formerly Partnership-Mentor/Protégé Program Guidelines).

Question 5: For Item 1, confirm the Tollway will allow a Prime Consultant to meet the prequalifications for Airports (Design), Structures (Highway: Complex), Structures (Railroad), Special Services (Surveying) through a sub-consultant.

Answer: The item description has been updated and the Tollway will allow a Prime Consultant to meet the prequalifications for Airports (Design), Structures (Highway: Complex), Structures (Railroad), Special Services (Surveying) through a subconsultant.

Question 6: For Item 1 the item description states "Phase II design engineering services support during construction, as outlined in Section 2.10, will be required to be performed within this contract." Are respondents required to include the original DSE in the Statement of Interest?

Answer: Firms submitting Statements of Interest will be required to perform the services outlined in Section 2.10 PHASE II: DESIGN ENGINEERING SERVICES.

Question 7: Regarding the VOSB Goal Facilitation Form posted in BidBuy, could you please clarify what actions, if any, are required of SOI submitters in response to this document?

Answer: No action is required. The form is intended to socialize current VOSB certified firms that expressed interest in possibly participating as a subconsultant or Prime for this solicitation.

Question 8: Are surveying services anticipated for Items 3 or 9?

Answer: Typical survey services to support the anticipated scope of work as described in each item should be assumed.

Question 9: Regarding the DBE and VOSB requirements:

• Given the nature of current DBE certifications, what documents are acceptable to show DBE status?

• It’s my understanding that not all firms have received responses yet regarding their required recertification following the IFR this fall. I’m also under the impression that an approval of recertification letter is not the same as a standard DBE Certification Letter.

Answer: See response to Question 1.
