Pre-RFPInfrastructure & MaintenanceDetected Jun 15, 2026

Under the Public Works & Water Committee report, the Board agenda lists a "discussion only" item on Gilbert Avenue resurfacing Phase 3 engineering firm selection. This indicates the Village is in the process of determining which engineering consultant will perform design or construction engineering for the next phase of resurfacing on Gilbert Avenue. No firm is identified and no resolution is presented, suggesting the selection process is still being shaped.This is a pre‑RFP or pre‑award moment when engineering firms can engage around qualifications, project approach, and prior similar work. Vendors in roadway design, construction engineering, traffic control, and pavement management can position to respond if an RFQ/RFP is issued or if the Village uses QBS or on‑call consultants for this phase.

Agenda explicitly notes this as a discussion-only item, indicating early planning/selection stage without a named consultant yet.

Pre-RFP

INDOT proposed revising special provision 620-R-483 because it has had difficulty obtaining coating materials for sound barrier posts. The change would add another coating option and keep the existing basis for use. It affects future INDOT sound barrier work and signals a specification change vendors should watch, but no procurement has been opened yet.

Public Updates

INDOT proposed correcting outdated AASHTO test references across Sections 502, 505, 506, 508, and 509 for portland cement concrete pavement, patching, equipment, and joint repair. The edits replace references to AASHTO T 23 with AASHTO R 100 and add clearer curing and testing language. This is a standards update that will affect future concrete work, but it is not a procurement.

The board was scheduled to act on a certificate of substantial completion and certificate of final completion for Window Replacement Phase 1 Project 162049. This indicates the window work had already been completed and was moving through closeout. The useful follow-on for a vendor is any warranty, punch-list, or future phase work tied to the same building program.
