RFQ - FAI 290 (Eisenhower Expwy) at Laramie Avenue, Phase II Engineering Project

Job No. D-91-156-22, FAI 290 (Eisenhower Expwy) at Laramie Avenue, Phase II Engineering Project, Cook County, Region One/District One. This project requires 17% DBE participation, or if the contract goal is not met, documented evidence of good faith efforts. The Complexity Factor for this project is 0.07. The Consultant who is selected for this project and all Subconsultants the Prime Consultant will be using are scheduled to attend an initial meeting on July 27, 2022, at 1:00 PM at the Region One/District One Office in Schaumburg. Phase II engineering services are required for the improvements of Laramie Avenue bridge structure over I-290. The Consultant's work is expected to consist of preparing contract plans, specifications, and estimates for the bridge structure replacement of the existing Laramie Avenue Bridge over I-290. The Consultant's work may include topographic survey, drainage design, bridge and underpass lighting, traffic signal modernization, geotechnical services as well as other structural tasks as determined by the department. The proposed improvement will consist of complete replacement of existing bridge structure under a full detour. The locations of the piers on either side of the CTA tracks will be changed due to proposed I-290 alignment. Since the bridge is being lengthened, the proposed abutments will be constructed behind the existing abutments. New retaining walls will align with the proposed abutments on either side of the bridge to provide additional width for the expressway. The horizontal alignment is not anticipated to change however the vertical profile will be lowered slightly. Vehicular and pedestrian access to this structure will be detoured during reconstruction, eliminating the need for staged construction to maintain traffic. The following structure is included in this project, S.N. 016-2064: Laramie Avenue over FAI 290 (I-290) and CTA. The estimated construction cost for this project is $15,099,000.
