Locker Room Remediation at Jacoby Dickens Center

Chicago State University is requesting bids on locker room remediation and infrastructure improvements at the Jacoby Dickens Center on its campus, with bids due October 6, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. CDT and a mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for September 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CDT. Bidders must be pre-qualified by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), as the work involves alterations to swimming pool bather preparation facilities governed by the Illinois Swimming Pool Code; all contractors performing construction of swimming facilities in Illinois must meet IDPH pre-qualification requirements and obtain an IDPH swimming pool construction permit or supplemental permit prior to commencement of work.

The scope encompasses renovations to existing natatorium locker rooms, replacement of existing plumbing and heating infrastructure serving the natatorium and locker rooms, and miscellaneous improvements to the facility at 9501 S. King Dr., Chicago, Illinois 60628. The project will be constructed under a single prime contract and represents a continuation of recently completed major renovations to the natatorium.

The pre-bid meeting will be held at the Jacoby Dickens Center with a tour of the basement pool equipment. Bids must be submitted exclusively through the CDB's e-Builder Bidding Program or an alternative file transfer system; faxed, mailed, and in-person submissions are not permitted.
