How to prepare for the City of Peoria CSO storage tank bid

City of Peoria ILCloses December 18, 2026

What the City plans to build

The City of Peoria plans to solicit construction bids for a 6.4-million-gallon underground storage tank near the Cedar Street combined sewer overflow location. The project is part of the City’s CSO control program under a consent decree with the USEPA.

This is an advance notice, not a bid advertisement. The formal bid release is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Key dates and what the deadline means

The notice was published October 19, 2026. Questions are due December 18, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET.

That is the questions deadline, not a stated bid-submission deadline. The formal bid is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026; check the BidNet Direct listing and any addenda for the bid release and response instructions.

Who this opportunity may suit

This opportunity may suit construction firms with experience in large-scale municipal infrastructure. The advance notice specifically encourages firms to plan for prequalification requirements, bonding capacity, and subcontractor networks.

Review the formal solicitation when it is released to confirm the required qualifications and work details.

How to access the notice and respond

Open the solicitation on BidNet Direct using the “View original source” option. The title and dates are public; a free BidNet Direct vendor account is needed to view the full notice, documents, and addenda.

The notice says to submit a response through BidNet Direct or as the notice directs, before the closing date. Since this is advance notice rather than a bid advertisement, follow the formal solicitation’s submission instructions once available.

Prepare before the formal bid

Use the advance notice period to assess your firm’s relevant construction experience, review bonding capacity, and identify subcontractors you may need. Keep track of prequalification requirements when the full documents become available.

Read all solicitation documents and addenda, confirm the response format and deadline, and allow time to complete the portal submission. If you have questions, use the process provided in the notice and submit them by the stated questions deadline.
