Compliance and Administration

Agency Agreement

IDOT initiates a limited agency agreement. The Agency Agreement is a contract between the sponsor and the Division of Aeronautics. The Agency Agreement gives the legal authority for the division to act as agent for the sponsor and is a required obligation document to reimburse funds.

The sponsor issues a Notice to Proceed (NTP) and sends a copy to IDOT:

William Eves
Bureau Chief of Airport Engineering
Division of Aeronautics
Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport
One Langhorne Bond Drive
Springfield, Illinois 62707-8415

State Reimbursement

Unlike state lettings, in local lettings the contract is between the contractor and the airport (sponsor). Therefore, IDOT cannot pay the contractor directly, but the sponsor must pay the contractor. With that being said, the following must be utilized for local-let projects and supplied:

The sponsor makes monthly payments to the contractor and consultants (if utilizing), and reimbursement requires that every month, the sponsor to compile a progress payment reimbursement request package, which consists of the following:
