Equal Employment Opportunity Program

Objectives

On construction contracts, the Illinois Tollway adheres to federal workforce requirements and works in conjunction with local unions and awarded contractors to facilitate achievement of all workforce goals.

Monitoring and reporting is a joint effort among awarded contractors, construction managers and diversity staff to ensure that:

Workforce data in the form of weekly certified payroll reports submitted by contractors to construction managers is reviewed to confirm achievement of established EEO goals (19.6 percent minority/6.9 percent female).
Periodic site visits are performed to confirm presence of workforce as reported.
Referrals of qualified workers are available to contractors seeking assistance in meeting their workforce goals.

Contractors are encouraged to visit the Tollway's Earned Credit Program section for information on how contractors and subcontractors can earn bid credits to make their bids more competitive while augmenting the construction industry workforce with qualified hires.

Detailed description of the Tollway's EEO Program

DBE/EEO Capture Application

The DBE/EEO capture application provides the contractor with the capability to enter payment data on DBE Form 2114 and workforce data on EEO Form 0003, view all forms that have previously been entered for that contract, and update any forms for that contract that have not yet been electronically submitted to the Tollway. In addition, the construction manager can view all data that has been entered to assist in their contract oversight role. The application can be accessed at http://www.tollwaydiversitycapture.com. A user ID and logon password is required.
