2024 CDBG Annual Sidewalk Program

The Village of Schaumburg, Illinois is soliciting sealed bids for the 2024 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Sidewalk Program, designated as IFB #2024-IFB-003, covering infrastructure improvements in Cook County. The project encompasses the removal and replacement of existing sidewalk sections, driveway aprons, and parkway regrading across multiple residential streets including Covington Place, Alpine Drive, Elgin Lane, Ellington Drive, Elm Drive, Amboy Lane, and Exmore Drive. Contractors must possess an IDOT Certificate of Eligibility for Concrete Construction of $500,000 or more, demonstrate five references of recent municipal concrete work, and have at least five years of municipal concrete construction experience. The project requires comprehensive construction activities including concrete sidewalk and driveway installation, curb and gutter work, sodding, and related infrastructure improvements with strict site maintenance and restoration requirements. Electronic bids will be accepted through the Village's OpenGov e-Procurement Portal until 12:00 pm on February 9, 2024, with a 90-day bid validity period and a construction completion deadline of June 21, 2024.

The procurement encourages participation from Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE), requiring contractors to document minority business activity using HUD Form 2516. Bidders must provide a bid security of 10% of the total bid price and will be required to furnish a performance bond for 100% of the contract amount if awarded. The project is subject to prevailing wage requirements under Illinois law, with wage rates determined by federal Davis-Bacon Act standards, including minimum hourly wages ranging from $12.90 to $17.20 depending on contract date. Contractors must comply with various legal requirements, including the Illinois Human Rights Act, Drug-Free Workplace Act, and Employment of Illinois Workers on Public Works Act. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating coverage for comprehensive general liability, automobile liability, umbrella/excess liability, and workers' compensation, with the Village of Schaumburg named as an additional insured. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the project is funded through a Community Development Block Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), with liquidated damages of $550 per calendar day for delays beyond the substantial completion date.
