The following survey asks industry/DBE stakeholders about various factors related to bridge and culvert bundling scenarios. As the IDOT Bureau of Innovative Project Delivery explores the potential for bundling in the State, this survey will help by providing additional information on the feasibility and interests of Illinois industry and DBE partners. Responses will be accepted through September 22, 2021. If you need additional information on the basics of bundling please see the IDOT Bureau of Innovative Project Delivery webpage for background information and fact sheet.

GENERAL INDUSTRY QUESTIONS
The following questions are intended for all stakeholders and as about various factors related to bundling scenarios.

Question Title

* Structure Types: Would you be able to achieve cost savings with bundles that include all bridges or all culverts or a mix of both?

Question Title

* Bundle Size: How many structures per bundle would create the lowest cost per bridge or culvert in the bundle? (assuming the typical DBB risk allocation between IDOT and the contractor)

Question Title

* Bundle Cost: Should IDOT keep a bundle of structures within an overall estimated cost range in order to produce good competition for the bundle and achieve cost savings? (assuming the typical DBB risk allocation between IDOT and the contractor)

Question Title

* Proximity: How close in proximity would structures in a bundle ideally be in order to create cost savings for the Project?

Question Title

* Local Hiring: Would local hiring preferences or innovative contracting approaches create positive or negative impacts to participation in the program? 

Question Title

* Prioritization of Structures to be Included in Bundles: IDOT has considered several criteria to prioritize structures for bundling, including: overall condition, inclusion On the National Highway System (NHS), load-posted structures, and proximity to Environmental Justice communities. 

Do you these criteria seem appropriate for aligning IDOT's bundling program with stated goals? Any other considerations?

Question Title
