ITEM SUMMARY:
Occasionally, the City receives funding through a Surface Transportation Program (STP) grant, which is
Federal funding administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), for roadway
construction projects. Recent changes in CMAP's (Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning) policies
now allows for construction engineering services to be included in STP grants (CE Funding). To be
eligible for CE funding, IDOT procedures must be strictly observed and followed. One procedure is the
adopting of a Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) Policy for engineering and professional services that
complies with the requirements of 23 CFR 172 and the Brooks Act.
The attached QBS Policy was drafted using IDOT’s recommended template. Said policy will be used for
solicitation and evaluation of proposals for construction engineering oversight services when necessary.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
