Site work for a road / highway in Richmond, British Columbia. Completed plans call for site work for a road / highway.

The purpose of this RFQ is to invite interested parties to indicate their interest in, and their qualifications for, designing and constructing the Steveston Interchange Project. Through the process described in this RFQ, the Province anticipates identifying a shortlist of up to three Respondents to be invited to participate in the next phase of the Competitive Selection Process, the Request for Proposals phase. The Project design-build contract value is expected to be in the order of $45 million to $55 million. The Project scope is comprised of improvements to the existing Highway 99/Steveston Highway interchange to improve safety and efficiency. These upgrades will improve local travel in this area of Richmond and enhance access to/from Highway 99. They also complement the future new George Massey Crossing, and represent part of the related corridor improvements associated with this future major project. The Steveston Interchange Project will: Improve travel time and reliability through Richmond, with congestion-reduction time savings that will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions; Improve safety for all modes of traffic; Improve access to/from Highway 99 and the adjacent area; Accommodate all modes of forecast traffic growth resulting from planned population and employment growth; and Support community and economic development with better access to/from the future new George Massey Crossing. Replace the existing Steveston Highway bridge structure crossing Highway 99 with a new bridge structure(s) Modify the existing Highway 99/Steveston Highway interchange ramps to connect to the new Steveston Highway bridge structure(s) Improve existing transit facilities in the direct vicinity of the Highway 99/Steveston Highway interchange Improve connections to adjacent municipal roads Extend the existing Steveston Highway multi-use path(s) across Highway 99 Perform traffic management Perform utility protection/relocations, including relocation of the reversible lane control system Maintain designated infrastructure to specified standards during construction (including pavement, structures, drainage, etc.) Meet quality, health and safety, communications, environmental, and archaeological requirements The Contact Person for this RFQ can be reached at Email: StevestonContact@gov.bc.ca Award amount was not released for publication.
