Senator Roth (SR-1) Bridge Repair

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, QUOTATIONS, OR BIDS.

The US Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District, is interested in awarding (1) Firm Fixed Price Contract for the repair of the Senator Roth Bridge (SR-1).

Contractor will conduct pre-and post-placement condition surveys for each section.  The (SR-1) Bridge is a major 6-lane, high-level crossing over the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal that carries more than 33 million vehicles (including 3 million of trucks) each year.  Currently the bridge is experiencing delamination of the overlay in multiple areas across entire length of both the southbound and northbound lanes.  The current damage can be seen at all joints across the bridge and recent soundings have indicated additional deterioration areas. 

This repair will be competed for the full span of the bridge on the southbound and northbound lanes.  The repair will consist of the removal of the existing 1.5"" LMC overlay that sits above the precast boxes.  Once the existing overlay is fully removed the surface will be cleaned and prepared.  The new overlay will be concrete and placed with a screed.  Once completed the new lanes will be painted and placed back in service.  This contract will also include traffic control during construction.  Construction will be staged to maintain 3 lanes in both directions for the duration of the repair.  Additional repairs will include some asphalt shoulder and concrete spall repairs.

Solicitation will be issued on or about 12 Aug 2021 with a bid opening date occurring at least 30 days after the Solicitation. The period of performance is 365 calendar days. Estimated cost range of the project is $10,000,000 to $25,000,000.
