Brief Description: The Illinois Tollway is seeking a vendor(s) to perform roadway construction work for roadway projects in accordance with the Job Order Contracting (JOC) system. o Roadway construction services will consist of four (4) zones at $1.25 million per zone per year with a three (3) year initial term ($5 million per year) per zone totaling $15 million. There is a possible 2 year renewal term for each of the four (4) zones totaling $1.25 million per zone per year ($5 million per year) totaling $10 million. The current system in use with the Tollway is Gordian. It is recommended that the awarded bidder be familiar with Gordian software. Job Order Contracting requires contractors to submit bids on individual construction tasks based on pre-set unit pricing from a supplied Construction Task Catalog(R) (CTC), there is language in the Construction Task Catalog(R) (CTC) that refers to veritical construction, however this contract does not allow for vertical construction, therefore the language in the CTC, that refers to vertical construction, does not apply to this contract. All unit prices in the CTC are based on local labor rates, material, and equipment prices related to the direct cost of construction. Contractors selected for this program will attend joint scope meetings with the Tollway to look at proposed projects. The Tollway will then prepare a detailed scope of work and issue a request for pricing on the selected task based on the CTC. The General Contractor then prepares a job order price proposal, supplies, drawings and sketches as requested, provides a list of sub-contractors and construction schedule, and supplies other requested documentation. The value of the Job Order Price Proposal is calculated by summing the total of the calculation for each pre-priced task (unit price x quantity x adjustment factor plus the value of any non pre-priced task). If the job order is found to be complete and reasonable, a Job Order Notice To Proceed (NTP) is issued. There are four (4) zones for Roadway. Bidder(s) are not required to bid on all zones. Bidder(s) can bid on one, all, or any combination of zones; however, a Bidder(s) will be required to submit a separate bid for each desired zone and to perform all services within the zone. Awards will be made to the lowest most responsive/responsible bidder(s) including the renewal.
