Burning Bush Lane Street Lighting

The Village of Mount Prospect, located in Cook County, Illinois, is seeking bids for the Burning Bush Lane Street Lighting project, a comprehensive street infrastructure improvement initiative. The procurement involves installing street lighting infrastructure along a 2,784-foot stretch from Kensington Road to Euclid Avenue, with specific requirements for 13 light standards, LED luminaires, underground conduit, electrical cable, and a lighting controller. The project requires precise technical specifications, including various mounting heights (25' with 10', 12', and 15' clamp-on mast arms), underground conduit installations, and electrical service connections to ComEd. Bid submissions are due on September 29, 2025, at 1:00 P.M. local time, with work expected to commence no later than November 10, 2025. The contract mandates substantial completion of underground work and restoration by December 11, 2025, followed by 10 working days for light pole, mast arm, luminaire, controller installation, and final testing. Evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsible bid, considering contractor capabilities, performance history, and strict compliance with technical specifications.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide a 10% bid deposit, performance bonds, and comply with prevailing wage requirements and drug-free workplace standards. Detailed documentation, including shop drawings, catalog cuts, and certifications, will be required from bidders. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves integrating new electrical infrastructure with existing utility services. The electrical utility service connection is budgeted at approximately $5,000, and contractors will be required to submit a 24-month maintenance bond covering potential material and workmanship defects. The comprehensive nature of the project suggests a total project budget likely in the range of $250,000 to $500,000, accounting for the extensive infrastructure improvements, electrical installations, and associated site work.
