SW emergency bridge design contract (phase 1-4/period of performance 1/2024 to 8/2028)

This $750,000 Formula Grant award from the Federal Highway Administration's Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) will fund a consultant agreement for the New York Department of Transportation to perform emergency bridge repair design services. The consultant will be on standby to conduct accelerated evaluations, analysis, and design work to address "red flag" conditions, improve the overall condition rating, and restore normal traffic operations for a specific bridge location in New York. The scope of work may include site visits, structural element assessments, repair plan development, cost estimating, and load rating analysis. This project aims to deliver critical bridge infrastructure improvements through an expedited design process during the award period from January 2024 to August 2028.
