The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit sealed proposals from firms to conduct a Condition Rating Survey (CRS) to assess the pavement condition of its nearly 16,000 center line mile highway system, Illinois’ portion of the National Highway System (NHS), National Highway Freight Network (NHFN) and Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) sample sections. The CRS is an important tool to assist the Department with its pavement management system and activities. The CRS is used to provide an overall assessment of the performance of the State’s highway system. It is the basis used to project future pavement conditions, for predicting future programming needs and is used for the required reporting of highway condition and performance measures to the Federal Highway Authority (FHWA) in order to meet current law.  The highway condition and inventory data and images collected by the vendor will be used by the Department to analyze the condition of the State’s highway system and assets for the CRS, asset management, and highway safety programs. The goal is to ensure the collection of valid geo-referenced highway condition and highway asset inventory data statewide for analysis and reporting.
