Re: CTA RPM Phase One Project Invitation to Bid
Dear Vendor:
Thank you for your interest in the Chicago Transit Authority’s (CTA) Red and Purple Modernization (RPM) Phase One Project. Attached please find the following documents associated with The Project:
• Scope Letter (will include scope of work and schedule outline) • Project DBE Goal Requirements • Project Workforce Participation Requirements • Contractor Controlled Insurance Program (CCIP) Description • CCIP Insurance Cost Worksheet – Form 1 • Buy America Contractual Requirement • Buy America Certification Waiver • Subcontractor Qualification Questionnaire
To receive access to the contract documents and submit a responsive bid for the project, an approved pre-qualification questionnaire must be on file. Our team will provide your company with access to BIM360 to review specifications and plans only if your company is pre-approved.
To assist certified DBE Subconsultants, Subcontractors and Suppliers, our team is committed to developing multiple bid packages for each work scope relative to geography and schedule to maximize the participation of disadvantaged businesses where practical. We also encourage all small businesses (e.g. M/W/SBE) who are willing to apply for DBE certification, or seek reciprocity within Illinois, to also consider this project. All subcontractors and material suppliers are required to execute our standard “Subcontract Agreement” and/or “Purchase Order”, and provision of a Performance & Payment bond for any subcontract with a value greater than $250,000.00 is a project requirement. If there are any questions or concerns with our standard subcontract, bonding requirements, insurance, or any other matter regarding this project please feel free to contact us. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
A responsive bidder must have a quote, executed Buy America waiver, and a completed CCIP Insurance cost worksheet (if your scope is applicable). If you have any questions or concerns about whether your company has been pre-approved, do not hesitate to contact Kweku Thompson at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Kweku Thompson, Diversity and Inclusion Manager Email: [email protected] Cell Phone: (312) 735 - 1628
