About this award
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded a $241.5K firm fixed-price contract to Portland State University on September 27, 2021, to develop a risk-based methodology for structural evaluation of bridge-sized culverts. This research initiative, with an ultimate completion date of September 26, 2025, was solicited through a Broad Agency Announcement seeking proposals to advance structural engineering programs and support FHWA's strategic goals of safety, infrastructure innovation, and accountability. The contract was awarded on a competitive, non-set-aside basis and represents Portland State University's capability to deliver applied scientific research addressing critical infrastructure challenges.
The prime contractor engaged two specialized subcontractors to support distinct technical workstreams. E.L. Robinson Engineering of Ohio provides expertise in the analysis of corrugated metal culverts, while The Citadel contributes specialized knowledge in reinforced concrete box culvert analysis. Both subcontractors, engaged effective March 11, 2022, focus on identifying key culvert parameters, conducting uncertainty quantification and reliability analysis, and comparing analytical predictions to measured field data. The collaborative team is responsible for delivering comprehensive project deliverables including technical documentation, methodological frameworks, and research findings that will enhance culvert structural evaluation practices across the nation's transportation infrastructure.
