About this award
The Federal Highway Administration awarded a $394,903 firm fixed-price definitive contract to Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE), a Northbrook, Illinois-based engineering and architectural firm, for a research study investigating current practices and policies of state highway agency bridge units regarding the deployment of non-destructive evaluation technologies to complement visual bridge safety assessments. This contract, originally awarded on May 15, 2020, was extended through April 28, 2025 at no additional cost to complete the investigative work. As a self-certified small disadvantaged business, WJE brings extensive infrastructure assessment expertise to this procurement, with established experience supporting FHWA initiatives through a $15 million Long-Term Bridge Performance program contract.
The contract was awarded without any set-aside designation and is being performed at WJE's Northbrook, Illinois location. The study aims to document and analyze how state transportation agencies currently implement non-destructive evaluation technologies in their bridge inspection and safety protocols, providing valuable data on industry practices that can inform federal bridge safety standards and guidance. This work aligns with FHWA's broader mission to support bridge safety, preservation, and performance across the national highway system, and leverages WJE's track record of technical consulting on complex infrastructure challenges for federal agencies.
