From the meeting
At its October 19, 2026 meeting, the board discussed a federally funded rail safety project for the Walker Road area. The Village had received a Federal Railroad Administration Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements grant for project planning, and Lochner, Inc. submitted a proposal for planning study and preliminary engineering work.
The scope included a new Walker Road Extension, analysis of grade-separated or at-grade alternatives, removal of the McGuire Parkway and Boyer Street private crossings, and NEPA documentation. The consultant agreement showed maximum compensation of $435,000 and a 16-month schedule from Project Management Plan approval. The item was discussed and presented for later formal approval.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Lemont village (pt.)'s meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
