The project is a public-private partnership (P3) that will reconstruct at least 500 structurally deficient bridges of similar design.

The latest transportation funding plan has made it possible to expand the project from the original 200 to 300 bridges.

The selected team will manage the bridges' design, construction and maintenance under one contract to streamline the work. Cost savings are anticipated since the same basic design and construction standards can be used for multiple bridges. The selected team will also maintain the bridges.

Interested proposers must submit in hard copy their statements of qualifications by 31 January 2014.
