General

As per Sec. 227.107, RSMo, MoDOT was given the authority for three pilot projects using the design-build project delivery technique: The New I-64, kcICON and the Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Program. Each was completed ahead of schedule and on, or under, budget.

Subsequently, the statute was amended to give MoDOT the opportunity to enter into design-build contracts on no more than two percent of the total number of all state highway system projects awarded to contracts for construction from projects listed in the commission’s approved statewide transportation improvement project for that state fiscal year.

Design-build is a delivery method that includes hiring one contracting team to complete the design work and build the highway improvement under one contract. MoDOT provides the project goals, budget and schedule and the contractor team completes the work. This technique has been known to significantly save time and provide cost savings.

The I-44 Corridor Bridge Bundle Design-Build Project is a package of 32 bridges which are either on Interstate 44, over Interstate 44 or within 15 miles of Interstate 44 on adjacent routes in Jasper, Lawrence, Greene, Webster and Dallas counties.  Sixteen of the bridges are required to be in the final proposal and the remaining sixteen bridges are at the teams’ discretion.  Most of the locations require a bridge replacement with a few listed as long-term rehabilitations or re-decks.

Project Update - 03/18/2021

The Mid MO ADA Design-Build Project was postponed in April, 2020 due to anticipated loss of MoDOT’s fuel tax revenue as a result of the national shutdown of businesses surrounding the national pandemic. The project has now been re-evaluated and several locations added, including sites in the Northwest District, significantly increasing the scope of the project. Our team is currently evaluating risks at these new locations. 

We plan to re-advertise this project in late spring to early summer. Additional details, timelines and updates will be posted on this web page and sent to all contractors and consultants that have contacted or submitted documents to the Mid-MO ADA team in the past. If you have any questions or would like to be added to our contact list, please email us at midmoada@modot.mo.gov. 

The purpose of the Central District ADA Design Build project is to complete the current ADA Transition plan in the Central and Northwest Districts and bring the remaining locations into ADA compliance. The procurement process is expected to begin in the spring or summer, 2021. One team will be selected to design and construct the project.

Project Goals

1. Deliver the project within the program budget of $23.1 million.
2. Bring designated pedestrian facilities into ADA compliance.
3. Use innovation to maximize improvements that provide long-lasting and safe pedestrian facilities.
4. Safely deliver a project that minimizes and mitigates construction impacts through construction staging and communication efforts.
5. Complete the project no later than Dec. 1, 2024.
