Locally Advertised Projects
All local-let projects financed with MFT or state funds must be advertised for letting in IDOT’s Notice to Contractor Bulletin. IDOT requires no additional public notice; however, this does not relieve the LPA from complying with the state law concerning these advertisements. LPA’s must comply with the requirements as stated in the Bureau of Local Roads and Streets Manual.
How To Proceed
Requirements and process based on the type of funds of the Bureau of Local Roads and Streets Manual:
Chapter 12: Letting and Contract Award Section 2: Invitation for Bids-Local Let Projects

State Advertised Projects
