General Sidewalk Improvements FY2025, Section 25-00701-00-SW

The City of Urbana, located in Champaign County, Illinois, is soliciting bids for the General Sidewalk Improvements FY2025 project (Section 25-00701-00-SW), which involves reconstructing 2,675 square feet of existing concrete sidewalk at various locations within the city. The project requires contractors to complete sidewalk and curb reconstruction across seven different street segments, including work on West Main Street, West Nevada Street, West Washington Street, South McCullough Street, South Coler Avenue, and South Orchard Street. Bidders must submit proposals electronically through the City of Urbana's Procurement Portal by May 16, 2025, at 2:30 PM, with bid opening conducted via a Microsoft Teams meeting. Contractors must provide a comprehensive set of documentation, including a formal contract proposal, bid bond, apprenticeship or training program certification, and compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity requirements. Key qualifications include participation in an approved apprenticeship program, ability to complete the project within 15 working days of contract award, and compliance with standard specifications for road and bridge construction.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though contractors must demonstrate compliance with local government contracting regulations and provide various certifications regarding legal and financial standing. The project will be funded through local Capital Repair and Improvement (CR&I) funds, with contractors required to submit a contract bond for the full award amount. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the project requires contractors to have expertise in municipal infrastructure reconstruction, specifically concrete sidewalk and curb installation. The bid includes a detailed schedule of prices for various line items such as earth excavation, sodding, concrete sidewalk installation, and traffic control, suggesting potential contract values aligned with the 2,675 square feet of reconstruction work. Successful bidders must also provide a one-year warranty on completed work and adhere to prevailing wage rates and specific technical provisions outlined in the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) standard specifications.
