Bode Road Force Main - Village of Schaumburg

The Village of Schaumburg, located in Cook County, Illinois, is seeking bids for the Bode Road Force Main project (2025-IFB-023), a comprehensive municipal infrastructure improvement initiative. The procurement involves the replacement and construction of approximately 2,682 feet of sanitary sewer force main and associated appurtenances across multiple streets, including Bode Road, Braintree Drive, Aimtree Place, and Wianno Lane. The project's key deliverables include open cut and horizontal directional drilling sanitary force main installation, abandonment of existing force main and sanitary structures, lift station demolition, and comprehensive site restoration. Sealed bids will be accepted electronically through the Village's OpenGov e-Procurement Portal until Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for March 20, 2025, at 11:00 am. Bidders must submit a 10% bid security and will be evaluated based on technical capabilities, compliance with specifications, and ability to meet project timelines, which include a Notice to Proceed on May 13, Substantial Completion by August 26, and Final Completion by September 9, 2025.

The contract requires contractors to comply with various regulatory requirements, including prevailing wage standards, Illinois Human Rights Act provisions, and comprehensive insurance coverage specifications. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the project mandates detailed compliance with state employment practices and substance-abuse program guidelines. Contractors must provide comprehensive general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and umbrella liability insurance. The project involves integration with existing Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) infrastructure and will require careful coordination with existing utility systems. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the project's complexity, involving multiple construction techniques and extensive infrastructure replacement, suggests a significant municipal capital investment. Liquidated damages are established at $1,425 per calendar day for work not completed within the specified timeframes, indicating the project's critical nature and the municipality's commitment to timely execution.
