CONTRACT 2 UPDATE 

As you are aware, the Clavey Rd Improvements Project is split into two construction contracts. Contract 1 is currently on-going and is anticipated to be completed in May 2022. The City is working with IDOT and the contractor to be on track with the completion date for Contract 1.

On March 11th, 2022, IDOT opened bids for Contract 2. IDOT received a low bid from Lake County Grading within the threshold of the City funding capabilities. Contract 2 is anticipated to begin in May 2022. IDOT is in the process of awarding the contract.  A preconstruction meeting will be held by IDOT in approximately three weeks after the contract award.  The contractor’s schedule should be known once the preconstruction meeting is completed. Check back in for updates on the start and production of Contract 2.

AT&T, ComEd and North Shore Gas are currently doing utility relocations in advance of Contract 2.
