The scope encompasses fabrication and delivery of precast prestressed concrete beams and elastomeric bearing assemblies. All materials must be stored and protected for up to 45 calendar days after the anticipated delivery date, with storage costs included in contract unit pricing. Delivery is required by June 15, 2027 or according to the scheduled shipping date provided by the erection contractor (Contract 61N09), and delivery dates must be coordinated with IDOT and the Contract 61N09 contractor. The work is subject to federal-aid construction requirements, prevailing wage provisions under the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act, Equal Employment Opportunity requirements, and a DBE participation goal of 0%. Contractors must comply with supplemental specifications, special provisions including diesel retrofit emission control device requirements, and insurance requirements naming the Village of Lake Bluff as an additional insured.

Payment is made at contract unit prices per foot for precast prestressed concrete beams and per calendar day for storage beyond the specified period. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Failure to complete delivery by the specified completion date triggers liquidated damages on a per-calendar-day basis. Work is performed in Lake Bluff, Lake County, Illinois, with performance coordinated across the bridge rehabilitation and broader roadway reconstruction effort.
