The scope includes bridge deck overlay, aggregate shoulder construction, and striping. Traffic control is a critical component; Old State Road will be restricted to closures between Monday 6:00 a.m. and Friday 3:00 p.m. for a maximum of five consecutive calendar days, with changeable message signs required 14 days in advance of any lane closures. The contract includes provisions for compensable delays and working day adjustments.

A Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goal of 0.00 percent applies; bidders must submit a DBE Utilization Plan documenting either sufficient DBE participation or good faith efforts. For contracts with awarded values of $500,000 or more, the Illinois Works Apprenticeship Initiative requires apprentices to perform either 10 percent of total labor hours or 10 percent of estimated labor hours in each prevailing wage classification, whichever is less, with at least 50 percent of those hours performed by graduates of designated pre-apprenticeship programs.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. IDOT reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to readvertise if necessary. The project is funded through construction funds and will be performed on FAI Route 57 in District 7. Bids will be publicly opened from the iCX SecureVault at the stated time.
