Construction of PCC Shared-Use Path

The Illinois Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for construction of a Portland cement concrete (PCC) shared-use path in Moline, Rock Island County, under Contract No. 85784, with electronic bids due November 6, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. A Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation requirement, indicated as revised July 2, 2026, applies to this procurement. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and bids are publicly opened at the submission deadline through the iCX-Integrated Contractors Exchange.

The project adds an 8-foot-wide PCC path along the south and east side of 25th Avenue from 7th Street to 12th Street Place. Scope includes PCC pavement and pavement patching, retaining wall construction and removal, grading, tree removal, sanitary and water service adjustments, ADA ramps with detectable warnings, chain link fencing, traffic control, erosion control, and concrete washout containment. The contractor handles construction layout and staking and must engage a licensed surveying firm for that work.

Compliance requirements include prevailing wages under the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, payroll records for federal-aid contract compliance, and the IDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (January 1, 2022, revised January 1, 2026), along with supplemental specifications and local roads and streets provisions. An IDOT Training Program Graduate on-the-job training incentive pays $15.00 per hour for up to 2 certified trainees. The project is funded through Construction Funds.

The contractor must reach winter shutdown on or before December 1, 2027, and complete the project with roadway opening to traffic by June 30, 2028, plus 10 working days for punch list items and final landscaping. Liquidated damages apply for each working day beyond the contract term.
