Summary: This project provides for a concrete bridge replacement located on Happ Road over the Skokie River in the Villages of Northfield and Wilmette. The quantities as shown on the contract documents were estimated for bidding purposes only.

New items were added for additional pavement marking items, recessed pavement markers, modify retaining wall footing, locating existing footings, installing 24” stop bars, additional perimeter erosion control, coring and drilling for guardrail, tree remobilization, additional pcc connector thickness, removal and disposal of material excavated for asphalt shoulders, traffic control signs for Skokie River, additional striping and additional bridge plaque.

This vendor was selected pursuant to a publically advertised invitation for bids in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code. Dunnet Bay Construction Company was the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder.
