INDIANAPOLIS —
Indiana released its final request-for-proposals Tuesday afternoon to construct the east-end portion of the Ohio River Bridges Project.
The final request-for-proposal concludes the industry review phase for the project, which included a series of one-on-one meetings with the short-listed proposers, who offered potential ideas for innovation and cost savings, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation press release.
The four teams now must submit plans and bids for design, construction, financing and maintenance of the $1.3 billion east-end crossing. Responses are due in late October. A contracting team will then be selected, and the procurement will reach “commercial close” with a public-private agreement by the end of 2012, according to the release.
“As we continue to work closely with our partners in Kentucky and the Federal Highway Administration, we see the project entering an unprecedented state of readiness,” said Indiana Department of Transportation Commissioner Michael Cline in the release. “All the pieces are coming together, and we’re looking forward to breaking ground in late August.”
Indiana has already opened bids for a 3,000-foot road extension that will ultimately connect Ind. 265 and the future east-end Bridge to the River Ridge Commerce Center. An award of the design-build contract for this work is expected soon, with a groundbreaking anticipated in August.
The four teams submitting a request-for-proposal includes: East End Mobility Partners, which consists of SNC-Lavalin Capital, John Laing Investments Limited, Zachry Resources, Inc. and Tutor Perini Corporation; the Ohio River Mobility Group, which consists of ACS Infrastructure Development, Inc., Hochtief PPP Solutions North America, Inc., Skanska Infrastructure Development, Inc., Flatiron Constructors, Inc. and Dragados USA, Inc.; the Ohio River Transportation Partners, which consists of Infrared Capital Partners Limited, Balfour Beatty Capital, Kiewit Development Company, Traylor Bros., Inc. and Massman Construction Co.; and WVB East End Partners, which consists of Walsh Investors, LLC, VINCI Concessions S.A.S. and Bilfinger Berger PI International Holding GmbH.
