Bridge Replacement and Maximum Probable Loss Valuations

The New York State Bridge Authority is requesting proposals from qualified engineering firms to provide bridge replacement values and maximum probable loss valuations for the Authority's four-bridge system, with proposals due September 10, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Written questions are due August 24, 2026. No set-asides or local-vendor preferences apply.

The scope covers valuation of the Rip Van Winkle Bridge (Catskill), Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge (Kingston), Mid-Hudson Bridge (Highland), and Newburgh-Beacon Bridge (Beacon), all in New York. Proposals must be submitted in physical form and are limited to 50 pages, excluding required forms, credit reports, and financial statements.

No business enterprise has been awarded an identical or substantially similar contract within the past five years. Optional interviews are scheduled for September 14, 2026, with contract award and notice to proceed both anticipated for September 17, 2026. The RFP imposes strict communication restrictions under New York State Finance Law Sections 139-j and 139-k; proposers may contact the Authority only through designated personnel via official written channels. Violations of contact restrictions may result in a determination of non-responsibility, ineligibility for award, and exclusion from future NYSBA procurements for four years. The Authority also reports violations to the New York State Office of General Services for listing and tracking.
