This is a Project Description document for the SR 518 Tukwila International Boulevard Station (TIBS) Bus Rapid Transit Project, involving Sound Transit as the primary agency with Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding. The project will establish a new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station on State Route 518 between mileposts 2.49 and 2.91, designed to connect the existing Tukwila International Boulevard Link light rail station with communities located south of SR 518. The scope of work encompasses roadway modifications, construction of new bus-only lanes, pedestrian bridges for accessing the new Stride BRT stations, and related transportation facilities. The project represents a significant infrastructure investment aimed at improving regional transit connectivity and pedestrian accessibility in the Tukwila area.

The project is federally funded through Sound Transit and the FTA, with federal small business enterprise (SBE) goals to be determined during the procurement process. As a federally funded transit project, the contract will be subject to applicable federal requirements and prevailing wage standards. The specific procurement details, including response dates, due dates, and award timelines, are to be established through the formal bidding process. Interested contractors should monitor official Sound Transit procurement channels for detailed bid documents, including the complete Scope of Work, technical specifications, and any mandatory pre-bid meetings or site visit requirements.
