The City of St. Louis is seeking Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from firms interested in providing professional engineering services for the replacement of the adjacent Grand Drive Bridge over Forest Park Parkway and Grand Drive Bridge ove Metrolink with a single structure. Additional details can be found in the Request for Qualifications and the grant application, which are available to download in the "Attachment" section. The City of St. Louis is fully committed to involving DBE firms in meaningful roles on all consultant contracts. To that end, the City, acting through MoDOT's External Civil Rights
Division, has established a goal of 10% DBE participation for this consultant contract. The Board of Public Service reserves the right to accept or reject any or all responses, or to cancel this request in part or in its entirety. All submittals become and remain the property of the City. POINT OF CONTACT: All questions shall be directed to Helen Bryant, Board of Public Service, by e-mail at BryantH@stlouis-mo.gov (please reference project name in Subject Line). Answers to technical questions will be made available to consultants who have registered to download the RFQ from the BPS website or who have provided contact information when they received the RFQ. SCOPE OF SERVICES:
The City will require professional engineering services for the following:
Boundary and topographic surveys.
Geotechnical investigation.
Grading design.
Bridge demolition plan.
Bridge structure and retaining wall design.
Storm sewer and drainage structures design.
Roadway, sidewalk and bicycle facilities design.
Traffic engineering.
Street lighting design.
Landscaping.
Utilities coordination The typical weekday traffic traveling on and under these structures is approximately 22,000 vehicles per day plus 310 light rail trips carrying tens of thousands of passengers. These crossings are critical to maintaining unimpeded vehicle/light rail traffic on the regional transportation system. The bridges also serve an important local transportation role providing access to Forest Park, one of the largest and most visited urban parks in the country. Forest Park is bisected by FPP and the Metrolink tracks impeding park use. The existing structures also accommodate additional modes of travel, including pedestrian and bicycle, so that park visitors can easily access all areas of the park. The total estimated cost of improvements is $7,230,000.00. Of this cost, $730,000.00 is estimated for design services, including planning, preliminary engineering design, right of way acquisition, and construction engineering services. Construction, construction management, and testing services are estimated at $6,500,000.00. The project is funded through local funds and the Transportation Improvements Program (TIP) as a Surface Transportation Program Sub Allocated Project under BRO-R096(001).
