Niagara, Jefferson & Twin Towers Parking Decks

The City of Peoria is seeking qualified contractors to perform comprehensive structural repairs on three parking decks located on Niagara Street, Jefferson Street, and at Twin Towers through Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 10-25. The procurement involves specialized concrete restoration services, including structural repairs to beams, joists, walls, and columns at depths ranging from less than 5 inches to greater than 5 inches. Contractors will be responsible for maintaining traffic flow, protecting vehicles and construction personnel, and minimizing disruption to parking garage operations during repairs. The project requires a 60-calendar day completion timeline following City Council award, with specific unit pricing for repair types such as structural concrete repair, partial and full depth slab repairs, crack routing and sealing, joint treatments, and surface coatings. Key bid dates include a pre-bid meeting held on March 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM, a question deadline of April 7, 2025, at 5:00 PM, and a bid submission deadline of April 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Bidders must provide bid security and demonstrate technical capability to execute the complex concrete restoration work across multiple parking structures.

The procurement includes specific Minority and Women's Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation goals, with 10% set for Minority Business Enterprises and 5% for Women's Business Enterprises. Bidders must demonstrate good-faith efforts to meet these participation goals and provide documentation of outreach to M/WBE subcontractors. The project is subject to prevailing wage requirements and the Employment of Illinois Workers on Public Works Act, with a preference for local contractors receiving a 3% preferential margin. The total project budget is approximately $600,000 for all three parking decks, though final figures are not definitively set.
