Springfield Avenue (Coler to McCullough) Resurfacing, Section 22-00654-00-RS

The City of Urbana, Illinois is soliciting bids for the Springfield Avenue Resurfacing project (Section 22-00654-00-RS), a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative located on Springfield Avenue from Coler Avenue to McCullough Street. The project encompasses multiple critical infrastructure elements, including hot-mix asphalt milling and surfacing, full depth Portland cement concrete pavement reconstruction, pavement patching, structural slab construction at a box culvert, sidewalk replacement, storm sewer construction, and street light replacement. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation through the City of Urbana's Procurement Portal, with sealed proposals due by 2:00 PM on March 21, 2025. The project will be funded through State Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) dollars and is expected to be completed within 75 working days. Potential contractors must provide a range of documentation, including a formal contract proposal, schedule of prices, bid bond, apprenticeship or training program documentation, and various required affidavits. Evaluation will include assessment of technical capabilities, compliance with specifications, and adherence to legal and regulatory requirements.

The procurement appears open to qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations, though vendors must meet several compliance requirements, including equal employment opportunity certifications, prevailing wage regulations, and specific representations regarding business practices. Contractors must demonstrate no history of debt delinquency, bid-rigging, bid-rotating, or bribery convictions, and must not be currently suspended from public contracting. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant municipal infrastructure investment. The project will require integration with existing urban infrastructure, including electrical systems, storm sewers, and roadway networks. Successful bidders will need to provide a contract bond for the full award amount and comply with Illinois Department of Transportation standards. The project plans were prepared by Fehr Graham and approved by the state on March 3, 2025, indicating thorough pre-procurement planning and technical review.
