Outstanding Bids - Notices & Documents

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Effective May  30, 2025, the City of Evanston has adopted the Responsible Bidder Ordinance (RBO) 23-O-25, which applies to all City of Evanston construction-related projects. This ordinance establishes requirements for contractors on public works projects, including bid submission requirements, such as evidence of participation in apprenticeship training programs and completion of OSHA safety programs. The RBO also includes provisions for pre-qualification of contractors and subcontractors, which extends for 12 months.

The City cannot receive packages that require a signature and/or a timestamp. As an alternative, the City of Evanston has partnered with DemandStar and has transitioned to a fully automated, web-based electronic bidding solicitation. Respondents may set up an account with DemandStar for free, and there is no fee to post in the system
