About this opportunity
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is soliciting electronic bids under Contract No. 93862 to remove and replace the CH 17 (FAS 426) bridge over LaHarpe Creek, with bids due November 6, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. through the iCX-Integrated Contractors Exchange system, when bids will be publicly opened. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
The work replaces existing structure S.N. 034-3170, a three-span W24x84 steel beam bridge, with a new steel W30x116 beam bridge on integral abutments, solid wall concrete piers, and steel H-piling. The back-to-back abutment length is 166 feet, the out-to-out width is 30 feet, and the total project length is 400 feet. Roadway items include aggregate base course, hot-mix asphalt binder and surface courses, aggregate shoulders, embankment, traffic control with complete road closure, guardrail removal and installation, riprap, and seeding. The contract references Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (adopted January 1, 2022, revised January 1, 2026) and includes special bridge provisions covering structural steel shop drawings.
Utility relocations for Dallas Rural Water District, Laharpe Telephone Company, and Western Illinois Electric Coop must be completed before construction begins. Tree removal is constrained by Indiana bat and northern long-eared bat breeding seasons, stated in the file as April 1 through September 31. The project falls under Clean Water Act Nationwide Permit 14 for Linear Transportation Projects, subject to Illinois EPA water quality certification conditions. The contractor must give 7 days' notice before starting work and coordinate public notification and emergency services with the Hancock County Highway Department.
The project is funded through Construction Funds and administered in IDOT District 6. The location is FAS 426 (CH 17) over LaHarpe Creek, 3 miles northwest of Fountain Green in Fountain Green Township, Hancock County. The opportunity lists Grundy County (FIPS 17063) as its jurisdiction.
