Phase I engineering services are required for all work associated with the preparation of
preliminary engineering and environmental studies for the End-of-Life Plan for the US 60/62
bridge (S.N. 002-0005) and its removal over the Mississippi River between Alexander County, Il
and Mississippi County, MO, the structure length is approximately 1.05 miles.
Phase I engineering services are required to prepare a Combined Design Report and
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the US 60/62 Bridge End-of-Life Plan and bridge removal.
We desire to develop a plan to determine what steps would be required to permanently close the
bridge as well as what additional work and funds would be required to keep it in operation in the
interim period. Phase I work is anticipated to include but not be limited to data collection as well
as analysis including: Bridge Condition Report; environmental survey request; combined design
report; Environmental Assessment; Section 4(f) documentation; NEPA report; section 106
process; public involvement; Environmental Justice public involvement, quarterly stakeholder
meetings; public hearings in both Illinois and Missouri; documentation and analysis of
environmental surveys; detour route traffic modeling, analysis and signing; estimated future
maintenance costs, structure deterioration rates and repair costs, agreements and permits, and
all other work necessary to document Phase I studies based on current information. The
Consultant selected for this project will also be required to provide a detailed specification on the
suggested sequencing of the closure, bridge removal requirements, bridge removal process and
