ChangeOrderNotice I-21-4744Elgin O'Hare Western Access I-294 to 1-90 East of I-294 at Grand Ave CMS

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority is posting a second supplement change order notice for Contract I-21-4744 with STV Inc., a Phase III construction management services contract for the Elgin O'Hare Western Access project, due October 27, 2026. This is not a new solicitation but a change order notice documenting contract modification.

The second supplement adds $995,000 in Phase III construction management services, increasing total contract authorization from $4.622 million to $5.617 million. The original contract ($3.122 million) was approved by the Tollway Board on April 26, 2020, under PSB 21-3 and BidBuy Bid Number 19-557THA-ENGCO-B-24521. A first supplement approved December 10, 2024 added $1.5 million.

Phase III construction management covers on-site inspection, layout review, design change coordination, geotechnical inspection and testing, records preparation, documentation, pay estimate preparation, change order processing, and project closeout for construction contract I-21-4736 — Railroad Bridge Construction over the Union Pacific Railroad at Grand Avenue, east of I-294. Construction is anticipated to continue through summer 2027, with project closeout expected by end of 2027.

The contract extension is driven by delays associated with utility relocations, Union Pacific Railroad flagger requirements, and unforeseen conditions. The additional work remains germane to the original project and within project limits, requiring the current construction management team to provide extended services. This change order meets posting requirements as it increases contract costs by more than $25,000.
