Pavement Patching on IL 3 from Monroe to the Jackson County Line

The Illinois Department of Transportation is soliciting electronic bids through the iCX system for Contract 76V29, pavement patching on IL 3 from the Monroe County line to the Jackson County line and IL 150 from the Mississippi River in Chester to the Perry County line, with bids due by 12:00 p.m. on November 6, 2026. The federally funded contract (FAP routes 312 and 861A) carries a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation goal of 5.00 percent. Bidders must submit a DBE Utilization Plan (Form SBE 2026) and DBE Participation Statements that document sufficient DBE participation or demonstrate good faith efforts toward the goal. Failure to submit these documents results in a non-responsive bid.

The scope covers approximately 55.2 miles of pavement patching, including pavement removal, excavation, and replacement with Class B patches (special). Required work includes installing dowel bars, tie bars, welded wire reinforcement, geotechnical fabric, subbase granular material, and triaxial geogrid reinforcement. Traffic control follows Standard 701501, and automated flagger assistance devices are permitted at the contractor's option. The project is subject to prevailing wage requirements, weekly certified payroll, monthly labor summary reports, EEO compliance documentation, and weekly DBE trucking reports. Compensable delay provisions apply to utility conflicts in unanticipated locations that delay work more than two weeks, covering escalated material and labor costs, extended project overhead, and extended traffic control.

All roadways must be open to traffic by October 31, 2027. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting the Department's terms, and the Department reserves the right to reject any or all proposals. The notice was posted October 21, 2026.
