Title/Name/Summary
ITB #26-021 Rebuild Illinois Roadwork - Award
History
The Rebuild Illinois (RBI) Roadwork Program includes the maintenance and reconstruction of various roadways/streets throughout the Village. Between May 2020 and September 2022, the Village received a total of $3,741,168.66 in six (6) installments, $623,258.11 each. Engineering used some of these funds for various projects, leaving a balance of $1,247,056.22. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) is requiring the remaining RBI money to be spent in 2026, or it will need to be returned. The RBI Roadwork Program will utilize these funds. The program is guided by the recommendations of the Village’s pavement management consultant, Applied Research Associates (ARA), in collaboration with Public Works staff’s extensive knowledge of Village roadways.
For FY2026, streets scheduled for resurfacing and reconstruction are found in the Catalina East neighborhood, streets included are Evergreen Drive, Aubrieta Lane, 153rd between 73rd Ave and Catalina Drive and 152nd, 153rd, and 154th streets between 73rd Ave and Harlem Ave. In addition to pavement-related work, repair and/or replacement of hazardous sidewalks, failed curbs, and deteriorated storm sewer structures will be performed on an as-identified basis. In all of the above project areas, all non-compliant sidewalks, most notably at street crossings, will be upgraded in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
