ARRA Contracts
ARRA requires that, to the maximum extent possible, Grantees
such as IDOT award fixed price contracts through the use of
competitive bidding. Only a few high of the high speed rail
contracts were not both fixed price and competitively bid. These
contracts were entered into between the Illinois Department of
Transportation and the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). UPRR, the
owner of the railroad, will perform work on its Chicago to St. Louis
rail line. The Chicago to St. Louis route has been designated to
operate passenger trains up to 110 miles per hour.
