The Bridge Inspection Program for the Garden State Parkway (GSP) consists of the inspections for the 525 routine bridges and 11 major bridges. As of June 2024, the routine bridges are divided into six (6) Groups. Bridges located in Groups 2, 4, and 6 are to be inspected in every even year. Bridges located in Groups 1, 3, and 5 are to be inspected in every odd year. A routine bridge is typically a mainline or local road structure with an average of four simple spans and a multi-stringer system which carries or spans over multi-lane/direction expressway traffic. This Request for Expression of Interest (RFEOI) is for GSP Groups 1, 3, and 5. The inspection and report format will follow the standard requirements for the New Jersey Turnpike Authority bridge inspection program and shall utilize proprietary software provided by Bentley "AssetWise Inspections" (AWI) to develop the reports.
These OPS' require the preparation of draft and final inspection reports, data collection and input by using Bentley's proprietary software for FHWA element level inspection, updating of FHWA Specifications for the National Bridge Inventory (SNBI) Forms, and other related work defined in the Scope of Services. See Attachment B, Subsection B2 for the lists and schedules of bridges to be inspected for each Group. The Authority will utilize a Secure File Sharing site ("Kiteworks") to share with and receive information from the Qualified Firms. Access to Kiteworks will be provided to the Qualified Firms via e-mail. Reference materials (preliminary plans, studies, reports, etc.) for this RFEOI will be made available for review in the "Reference Materials" folder. If there are any questions or issues related to Kiteworks, please contact Jennifer Romero via e-mail at jromero@njta.com. The subject line should read "OPS Nos. P4083, P4084, and P4235, Kiteworks Information."
