2026 Downtown Brick Paver Maintenance

The Village of Glencoe, Illinois is requesting sealed bids for the South Entrance Rehabilitation Project at 675 Village Court, Glencoe, with proposals due July 31, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. CST. Illinois prevailing wage rates under the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act apply to all laborers — a cost driver affecting bid pricing and labor availability.

The scope encompasses rehabilitation work at the south entrance with specifications and drawings provided in the bid package. Prospective bidders are required to inspect the work site prior to submission. The Village reserves the right to award in part or in whole, reject any or all proposals, or reject the low bid based on factors including price, prior experience, and bidder qualifications.

Bids shall be submitted on a lump sum price basis with all costs — labor, materials, equipment, permits, licenses, and applicable taxes — included in the price proposal. Bids may not include federal excise tax or state sales tax, as the Village is tax-exempt. Bid security of at least 5% of the base bid must accompany each proposal in the form of a cashier's check, certified check, or bid bond from a surety company with an A- rating and Class X financial size category in Best's Insurance Guide. The successful bidder must provide performance and payment bonds in the full amount of the contract price and maintain specified insurance coverage.

The tentative contract award date is August 20, 2026, with work commencement targeted for August 31, 2026. Substantial completion is scheduled for December 4, 2026, and final project completion by December 31, 2026. Bid proposals are firm offers for 60 days following bid opening. The bid package includes the invitation for bidders' proposals, general instructions to bidders, bidder's proposal form, sworn acknowledgments and work history statements, bid bond form, notice of award, and the complete contract with specifications and drawings.
