Fencing Removing and Replacement at the Effingham Maintenance Yard - Effingham County

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is soliciting electronic bids for chain link fence removal and replacement and cantilever sliding gate installation at the Effingham Maintenance Yard in Effingham County, with bids due June 12, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. through the iCX-Integrated Contractors Exchange system. Prevailing wage compliance and weekly payroll reporting through LCPtracker Pro are mandatory, and apprenticeship requirements apply to contracts exceeding $500,000 in value. The project triggers OSHA HAZWOPER work-zone and soil contamination sampling protocols due to documented environmental concerns related to a leaking underground storage tank at the site.

The scope encompasses removal of existing chain link fence including all posts, fabric, fittings, appurtenances, and foundations, followed by installation of replacement fence and cantilever sliding gate assemblies conforming to ASTM F1184 specifications. Payment is structured as a contract unit price per linear foot for fence removal and per each for gate assembly. Work must comply with IDOT's Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (January 1, 2022), supplemental specifications, recurring special provisions, and Illinois Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for traffic control. Steel costs adjust based on Engineering News-Record Materials Cost Index fluctuations per special provisions.

Bidders must submit a complete list of all DBE and non-DBE subcontractors and material suppliers in accordance with 49 CFR 26.11(c), regardless of whether their bids were used. DBE payment reporting is required within 21 days of payment. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. IDOT reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to determine responsibility at the time of award.
