Culvert Wing Wall Repairs on SN 009-7000

The Illinois Department of Transportation is soliciting bids for culvert wing wall repairs at structure SN 009-7000, which carries IL 125 over Lost Creek Tributary in Cass County, with electronic bids due November 6, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. through the iCX-Integrated Contractors Exchange system. The contract carries Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation requirements within its recurring special provisions, and the work is funded with Federal-aid construction funds, so federal compliance and certifications apply. Award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Scope covers repairs to the wing walls under Contract No. 72E78 (FAP Route 67, Section 6CLV, District 6). Key technical work includes helical ground anchor installation designed for a 75-year design life, hot dip galvanizing of structural steel, and concrete and mortar work to the state's specifications. The contract incorporates IDOT's Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, adopted January 1, 2022 and revised January 1, 2026, along with supplemental specifications.

Traffic management is a significant performance constraint. At least one lane of IL 125 must remain open at all times. The contractor must coordinate with the District 6 Bureau of Operations at least 72 hours before beginning work and three weeks before implementing traffic control, and must erect changeable message signs seven days before implementing traffic control standard 701201.

The project involves utility relocations for Cass Communications, Arenzville Rural Water, AmerenCIPS, and Centurylink (Lumen). Estimated relocation dates are provided but depend on contractor operations.

The solicitation was posted October 21, 2026, with the bid deadline on November 6, 2026.
