The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is requesting bids for road reconstruction on County Road 100S in Porter County from 2,000 feet west of County Road 725W to 750 feet east of CR 675W, with bids due May 7, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Indiana Government Center North in Indianapolis. A Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal is established as a minimum contract requirement with specific joint check arrangement provisions for DBE participation.

The scope encompasses excavation, embankment work, pipe installation and removal, stormwater management infrastructure, subgrade treatment, HMA pavement placement, guardrail installation, erosion control, seeding and sodding, and a dewatering system of sufficient capacity to prevent groundwater flow into excavations and allow construction to proceed on dry, stable subgrades.

Work is subject to the 2026 INDOT Standard Specifications effective September 1, 2025, and requires compliance with Davis-Bacon Act and prevailing wage requirements under General Decision Number IN20250001. Environmental compliance includes stormwater quality control plans, erosion and sediment control inspections, and bat avoidance and mitigation measures. Construction Engineering is bid as a lump sum item. The contractor must maintain comprehensive records for three years following project completion and coordinate with INDOT's Quality Control/Quality Assurance program for HMA sampling and testing.

The intermediate completion date is October 30, 2026, with a Certified Sustainability and Green Pavement intermediate completion date of September 30, 2027, and final completion June 30, 2028. Liquidated damages are assessed at $3,000 per day for overall completion and $1,500 per day for closure phase completions. Contractors may submit questions through INDOT's online portal with responses provided within two business days. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled.
