The Illinois Department of Transportation is requesting bids for chip seal with fog seal on Illinois 140 from Linder Boulevard in Greenville to the Fayette County line, a 7.8-mile project in Boone County, with electronic bids due July 31, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. via the iCX-Integrated Contractors Exchange system.

The scope encompasses bituminous surface treatment (A-2) with fog seal, including material procurement, equipment specification, and construction procedures under Section 403 of the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Work is restricted to May 1 through August 31, with limited September work permitted under specified conditions. The contract requires an IDOT preconstruction conference for submission of required documentation.

The project carries EEO and labor-compliance requirements, including certified payroll submissions and DBE trucking reports; all associated costs must be included in the contract price with no additional compensation. Bituminous materials cost adjustments are available at the contractor's option. Utility-conflict delays are compensable under the contract terms.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. IDOT reserves the right to determine responsibility at the time of award, reject any or all bids, readvertise the work, and waive technicalities. No site visit or pre-bid conference is explicitly scheduled. Funding derives from Illinois state construction funds with no federal-aid participation indicated.
