Change Order Notice RR-18-4383 TriState Tollway 95thST-Balmoral, Planning Studies Upon Request

The Illinois Toll Highway Authority is posting Change Order Notice RR-18-4383, a second amendment to its planning studies and Phase I engineering contract for the Tri-State Tollway between 95th Street and Balmoral Avenue, with a November 10, 2026 due date. This is not a solicitation, so no bid opportunity or eligibility restriction applies.

The amendment extends the contract completion date by six months, to June 30, 2027. The extension allows continued coordination with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) on Phase I approval for IL-19 at I-294 and addresses the comments and revisions needed to obtain that approval. Additional coordination on Community Development Agency (CDA) land acquisition, which will constitute a significant portion of the Phase II process, also drives the extension.

No additional funds are required, and the contract value remains at $5.0 million. Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. is the incumbent contractor, awarded June 28, 2018 via board resolution 21596 following selection committee results determined June 6, 2018. The original contract was advertised in Professional Services Bulletin PSB 18-2 on March 27, 2018. The notice is posted for 14 days under state procurement regulations, which require posting for renegotiated contracts and change orders that increase the time of completion by 180 days or more.
