Construction of a Two-Span Precast Prestressed Concrete Deck Beam Bridge

The Illinois Department of Transportation is soliciting electronic bids for construction of a two-span precast prestressed concrete deck beam bridge in Kankakee County, Contract No. 87851, with bids due June 12, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. via the iCX (Integrated Contractors Exchange) system. The project is subject to prevailing wage provisions and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation guidelines.

The bridge will be located on Route FAS 1293 approximately 1.7 miles northeast of Momence, spanning from Station 3+84 to Station 7+85. The scope includes construction of the two-span precast prestressed concrete deck beam bridge, HMA surfaced approaches, guardrail installation, earth excavation, removal of existing structures, stone riprap Class A4 placement, granular backfill, seeding, post-tensioning of precast prestressed concrete deck beam transverse ties, and traffic control and protection as a lump-sum pay item. The road will be closed to traffic during construction, though local resident access will be permitted per Standard Specifications. Utility relocations by AT&T (telephone) and ComEd (electric) are required prior to construction start and are the responsibility of those utilities, not the contractor.

The project requires compliance with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 permit authorization under Nationwide Permit #14 for Linear Transportation Projects; the work affects less than 0.10 acre of Waters of the United States. The contractor must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, including Equal Employment Opportunity requirements. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Construction specifications are governed by the Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction adopted January 1, 2022 (revised January 1, 2026), with supplemental and special provisions incorporated into the contract document.
