Bridge Deck Concrete Sealing Various Locations throughout LaSalle and Putnam Counties

Illinois Department of Transportation is soliciting electronic bids for Contract 66T76, which covers sealing the decks and parapets/curbs of numerous bridge structures in LaSalle and Putnam counties, due November 6, 2026 before 12:00 p.m. through the iCX-Integrated Contractors Exchange system, when bids will be publicly opened. The contract carries a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation goal of 0.00%, so no DBE set-aside applies.

Scope covers surface preparation and application of concrete sealer or protective coat to the entire top surface of bridge decks and the tops and inside vertical faces of parapets, using sealers from IDOT's approved list under Section 1026 or 1023 of the Standard Specifications, along with all associated traffic control. Traffic requirements include plastic drums in place of cones and barricades during lane closures, all lanes open during legal holidays, weekends, and at the end of each workday, changeable message signs for interstate structures, automated flagger assistance devices, and vehicle parking restrictions within the interstate right-of-way. The project sits in District 3.

Payment is at the contract unit price per square foot for Bridge Deck Concrete Sealer, measured by actual coverage area and inclusive of surface preparation, material, and application. Funding is FY 2027 Construction Funds. The specifications provide for compensable delay costs, and a delayed start date of May 15, 2026 is specified, so no work may begin before that date. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Compliance obligations include prevailing wage requirements, EEO obligations, and the Illinois Works Apprenticeship Initiative for state-funded contracts valued at $500,000 or more, plus environmental and materials specifications in the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction.
