Contract Opportunity Description:

Attached is the project wide solicitation package for the Chicago Transit Authority’s Red Line Extension (RLE) Project. To ensure open communication throughout the bid process, please let us know ASAP if you are interested in bidding this scope via e-mail at augustindesvaux@wvtcp-rle.com, RLEProcurement@wvtcp-rle.com, and RLEGFE@wvtcp-rle.com. Please review "01 Vendor Solicitation - Ground Penetrating Radar Services" for requested bid information. 
 
A responsive bidder must provide a quote and a completed Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (File "02" attached here). If your company has already submitted a completed Pre-Qualification Questionnaire for this project within the past 3 years, you do not need to fill out a new version. All additional attached documents should be reviewed by interested bidders for relevant contract requirements.

For Technical Scope related questions, please reach out to Augustin Desvaux at augustindesvaux@wvtcp-rle.
 
WVTCP is committed to ensuring that small and local businesses have meaningful access to opportunities on the CTA Red Line Extension project. We strongly encourage firms to bid on packages that align with their scope and capacity. If you believe a package may be beyond your current bandwidth, cannot meet bonding requirements, or are in need of more flexible payment terms, please reach out to us. We are committed to helping reduce these barriers wherever possible and are happy to discuss options or supportive approaches that may help firms successfully participate. Our goal is to support growth, foster opportunity, and strengthen participation from the small business community throughout this historic project.
 
 

Completed bids will only be accepted until April 8th, 2026 @ 4PM CST. Again, please be advised that bids received without a completed Pre-Qualification Questionnaire will not be considered. Receipt of a quote, however, can precede a completed pre-qualification questionnaire as long as you inform Walsh-Vinci Transit Community Partners (WVTCP) Diversity of your intention to do so via e-mail at RLEGFE@wvtcp-rle.com.  
 
Bids received after April 8th, 2026 @ 4PM CST will not be considered.
