Design-Build Projects in Procurement

The John Jordan “Buck” O’Neil Memorial Bridge (formerly the Broadway Bridge), is a triple arch bridge carrying U.S. 169 over the Missouri River, and serves as a key regional connection between downtown Kansas City and communities north of the river.

While safe, the bridge is nearing the end of its projected lifespan. Opened in 1956, the bridge recently celebrated its 60th year of operation. 

Since that time, neighborhoods and communities on both sides of the bridge have changed significantly and now nearly 50,000 vehicles use the bridge daily.

“Thank you to everyone who expressed interest and put in the time and effort to deliver a SOQ for consideration,” Miller added.

Project Goals:

1. Construct an innovative, low-maintenance Missouri River Bridge that will provide a century of service within the program budget of $247.5 million.
2. Provide a safe, connective and accessible transportation facility that improves regional and local system performance.
3. Manage the impact to the travelling public during construction. 
4. Complete the project by December 1, 2024, utilizing a diverse workforce.

This $26 million design-build project will replace up to 41 bridges in northern Missouri, and was enabled by receipt of a $20.7 million federal grant under the Competitive Highway Bridge Program. MoDOT’s original application for the grant which contains the project information can be found here. For more information, contact Project Director Jeff Gander at FARM@modot.mo.gov.

Five Teams Will Compete for Contract 

MoDOT’s FARM Bridge Team, consisting of professional engineers, has completed their evaluations of the SOQs submitted by potential design-build teams.  “From all the SOQ’s submitted, we created a short list of five teams who will compete for the contract to oversee the design and construction of several bridge replacements over the next few years,” Gander explained.

The following teams were selected to further develop their proposals on the project:

Capital - HDR

Clarkson - Burns & McDonnell

Emery Sapp & Sons - Parsons

Lehman - Wilson

OCCI – Benesch

The FARM Bridge Team will release the Request for Proposals (RFP) on January 12, 2021.  “This means these five teams will receive our formal request to submit their proposals to design and construct these bridges,” Gander explained.

PROJECT GOALS:

1. Safely deliver the project within the program budget of $25.99 million on or before Oct. 31, 2023.
2. Use innovation to maximize the number of locations to be addressed.
3. Provide quality long-lasting structures.
4. Minimize public inconvenience through increased construction speed and flexibility in scheduling.

PROJECT SCHEDULE:

This project will make crossroad, interchange and outer road improvements to I-70 in St. Charles County, between Fairgrounds and Cave Springs Roads, to make the corridor safer and more efficient.

Upcoming Design-Build Projects

The Central District Americans with Disabilities Act project will bring specific ADA pedestrian facilities located throughout the district into compliance to the maximum extent feasible in accordance with MoDOT Standards and the Public Right of Way Accessibility Guidelines.  For more information, Project Director Chris Brownell at sidney.brownell@modot.mo.gov, or (573) 526-4567.

Mid MO ADA Project Status Update

The Mid MO ADA Design-Build Project was postponed in April of this year due to anticipated loss of MoDOT’s fuel tax revenue as a result of the national shutdown of businesses surrounding the national pandemic.  MoDOT was tasked by the US DOT to keep our STIP projects moving forward as planned.  This project was moved out to a later fiscal year to help alleviate Central District revenue losses in the short term.  Currently, the Mid MO ADA Project has been placed in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 and Central District is committed to maintain this award date.  Team meetings are again underway and the project is moving forward to a project advertisement later in 2020 or early 2021.  As the project progresses and more details are ready to be shared, they will be posted on the project website at https://www.modot.org/midmoada. 

Project Goals:

1. Deliver the project within the program budget of $13.6 million.

2. Bring designated pedestrian facilities into ADA compliance.

3. Use innovation to maximize improvements that provide a long-lasting and safe pedestrian facility.

4. Safely deliver a project that minimizes and mitigates construction impacts through construction staging and communication efforts.

5. Complete the project no later than December 1, 2022.

Projects with Scoping Only

The purpose of this section is to identify potential future highway and bridge projects. These projects may be in the evaluation stage, which is called project scoping, or may be further along in the preliminary design process. Projects listed in this section are not commitments to construct or implement an improvement. These commitments won’t be made until the NEPA process is completed. These projects are being included in the STIP for the scoping or preliminary design phase only, and subsequent phases have not yet been determined or are beyond the STIP horizon period.
