2022 Concrete Improvement Program

The Village of Schaumburg, Illinois, located in Cook County, is soliciting sealed bids for the 2022 Concrete Improvement Program (IFB #2021-IFB-054) through its e-Procurement Portal, ProcureNow. The comprehensive infrastructure project encompasses four primary program areas: Curb Replacement, Sidewalk Replacement, Public Works Utility Dig-Up Repairs, and Town Square Concrete Repairs. Bidders must provide concrete construction services including pavement installation, sidewalk and curb replacements, driveway pavement removal, and related infrastructure work. Qualified contractors must possess an IDOT Certificate of Eligibility for Concrete Construction of $1,000,000, submit five municipal concrete construction references, and demonstrate at least five years of municipal concrete construction experience. The bid requires a 10% bid security and potentially a 100% Performance Bond. Electronic bids are due by March 4, 2022, at 10:00 am, with the initial contract term set for one year and potential for three additional one-year optional extensions. The project has substantial completion requirements by October 17, 2022, and final completion by November 4, 2022, with liquidated damages of $1,275 per calendar day for missed deadlines.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder meeting the specified qualifications, with the Village retaining the right to add or delete work locations and cancel the contract with 30 days' notice for poor performance. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project incorporates Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) standard specifications and will require integration with existing municipal infrastructure. The contract includes unit-based pricing for various concrete and infrastructure elements, with potential for a one-time economic adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index. Though a precise budget range is not specified, the project covers multiple infrastructure improvement areas across the Village of Schaumburg, suggesting a significant municipal investment. Contractors must also comply with prevailing wage requirements, the Illinois Human Rights Act, substance-abuse program certification, and drug-free workplace provisions.
