The incumbent contractor, Jacobs Engineering, Inc., possesses critical institutional knowledge and established relationships with the FAA and CDA essential for completing remaining work, as well as familiarity with corridor design guidelines, agency coordination records, program administration, and document control procedures. The change order notice was posted on April 14, 2026, with a due date of April 20, 2026, though this notice does not represent a solicitation for new bidders.

The current contract with Jacobs Engineering, Inc. originated from procurement solicitation PSB 18-4 under Illinois Procurement Bulletin number 22043022 and was approved by the Tollway Board on April 18, 2019 via Board Resolution number 21788 for an initial amount of $29,500,000.00. A first supplement approved on May 25, 2023 increased the contract by $6,500,000.00, bringing the total to $36,000,000.00. This second supplement increases the contract value by an additional $4,417,000.00, resulting in a total contract authorization of $40,417,200.00. The increase is justified by schedule and timing considerations stemming from ongoing construction and coordination requirements with multiple third-party entities. The procurement determination indicates that a different contractor or procurement method is not recommended due to the incumbent's specialized knowledge, established agency relationships, and existing infrastructure and documentation already developed under the original contract.
