This revision adds a sentence to the second paragraph that clarifies the reason for a second mandatory conference on contract 60D61.
 

MANDATORY PRE-BID CONFERENCE
CONTRACT 60D61 ITEM 130

A pre-bid conference has been scheduled for Friday, July 17, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. This meeting will be held at the Western Bridge House for the Congress Parkway Bridge, Chicago, Cook County, IL. Plans and Special provisions for this contract will be discussed.

The original Mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for July 10, 2009 at 10:00 AM contained inaccurate information regarding contractor pre-qualification. Therefore all prime contractors and DBE firms are encouraged to attend. This pre-bid meeting is MANDATORY for all prime contractors who plan to submit bids on the following contract.

60D61 Congress Parkway over the South Branch of the Chicago River
Rehabilitation Project, City of Chicago, Cook County, IL

Attendance will be taken. Failure on the prime contractor’s part to attend will cause the contractor’s bid to be rejected. Members from Small Business Enterprises and District One IDOT will be on hand to answer any questions that you may have. This will be an opportunity for prime contractors and DBE firms to meet and discuss projects of mutual interest.

Contractors are encouraged to submit written questions in advance of the pre-bid conference so that answers can be provided at the conference.

Upon adjournment of the meetings, the contractors will be offered the opportunity to visit the bridge site and bridge houses including the mechanical and electrical facilities.

Both prime and DBE firms are encouraged to review the project hiring goals prior to this pre-bid conference. A short formal presentation will be given.



Questions should be directed Cathy Kibble at IDOT District 1 Office at 847-705-4000
