The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), District 2, is requesting bids on a designed overlay and ADA improvements project on US 6 and IL 82 in Geneseo, Henry County, with electronic bids due November 6, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. via the iCX system. Bidders must be prequalified and comply with federal-aid construction requirements, including DBE participation provisions.

The scope spans 5.79 miles of designed overlay work on US 6 from 0.1 miles west of Dilenbeck Drive to US 6 (E) and on IL 82 from Smith Street to 0.4 miles south of I-80, including ramps. Major work items include ADA improvements for sidewalk curb ramps, pedestrian crosswalks, and curb and gutter installations to meet current ADA/PROWAG standards; standard overlay and patching; traffic signal modifications; pedestrian signal installations; chain link fencing; sign work; and removal and disposal of regulated substances at identified ISGS sites. Seven distinct maintenance of traffic segments impose specific lane-closure, working-hour, and taper-length restrictions, including limits on the I-80 on/off ramps (three days maximum for outer lane closure) and College Avenue (Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. only). The project is funded with Federal-aid funds under the Surface Transportation Program (STP).

The contract completion date is November 24, 2027, with ten working days thereafter allowed for cleanup and punch list items. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in conformance with IDOT terms and conditions. Work is governed by detailed specifications including supplemental specifications effective January 1, 2026, and recurring special provisions covering hot-mix asphalt, Portland cement concrete pavement, traffic control, pavement markings, and regulated substance removal. Contractors must submit EEO certifications and payroll reporting; bids will be publicly opened at 12:00 p.m. on November 6, 2026.
