Renewal Notice I-19-4714 I-490 and IL Rte 390 INT Roadway and Bridge Constr IL 390 M. P. to M. P. 17. 0

The state and local contract opportunity is a renewal notice for a construction project involving the Illinois Toll Highway Authority (THA), specifically focusing on the I-490 and IL Route 390 Interchange Roadway and Bridge Construction project located in Cook County. The original contract was initially awarded to Dunnet Bay Construction Company on March 21, 2022, for $23,241,093.24, with the initial contract set to expire on December 1, 2025. This renewal notice extends the contract for one additional year, from December 1, 2025 through December 1, 2026, at no additional cost. The primary objectives of the contract include completing final sanitary sewer installation and water abandonment work, addressing challenges such as unmarked underground utilities requiring relocation, negotiating with the City of Des Plaines regarding sanitary sewer flow, and resolving outstanding contractor claims. The project was originally advertised on December 6, 2021, with bids received on January 28, 2022, and the renewal is being exercised under one of two prescribed one-year renewal options in the original contract.

The contract includes a Veterans Business Program with a 2.21% VOSB (Veteran-Owned Small Business) participation requirement, indicating a commitment to supporting veteran-owned enterprises. No new funds are being added to the contract for the renewal period, and the renewal was digitally signed by Brittany Tatum on November 10, 2025. The project appears to have experienced delays due to complex utility relocation issues, subcontractor negotiations, and ongoing claim resolutions. While the specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the provided documentation, the contract renewal suggests that Dunnet Bay Construction Company has met the original contract's performance requirements sufficiently to warrant a one-year extension. The total contract value remains unchanged at $23,241,093.24, with the renewal focused on completing remaining infrastructure and utility work associated with the I-490 and IL Route 390 Interchange project.
