Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is requesting Statements of Qualification from companies interested in providing Design-Build services for the I-70 Pavement Widening and Improvement Project in Boone County of Missouri. This project will add one lane in each direction on I-70 from the Missouri River to Route B in Columbia Missouri approximately 14 miles in length. The budget for this project will be between $400 and $450 million. One Design-Build team will be selected to design and construct the project. Deadline for submitting RFQ questions May 15, 2025 (2:00pm CDT) Interstate 70 is the primary east-west corridor in Missouri, directly linking cities of Kansas City and St. Louis. Fully operational and open to traffic in 1966, I-70 has seen a 487% increase in average annual daily traffic - with no significant geometric improvements to the corridor in that period. The Improve I-70 Program will revitalize I70 with the following guiding Program Goals: o Provide a third lane of travel to eastbound and westbound Interstate 70 from the Blue Springs to Wentzville. o Improve the interstate while modernizing the existing pavement and bridges through innovation. o Increase the efficiency of freight movements along Interstate 70. o Minimize construction impacts with a focus on work zone safety, communications, and construction staging. o Expand a diverse workforce through the creation of jobs. MoDOT intends to make improvements to the I-70 corridor from Route BB to east of Route B in Boone County. The improvements include actions to expand I-70 to three lanes in each direction; reconstruct or rehabilitate existing pavement and bridges; improve traffic operations, geometrics, and safety; improve accessibility along and across the corridor for freight, bicycles, and pedestrians; and make improvements to the interchanges of the I-70 corridor. The Project will be built in accordance with the EIS and the approved Record of Decision (ROD) that defines the environmental impacts and required mitigation for the Project. The environmental document was recently re-evaluated. Project Goals The following prioritized goals have been established for the project: 1. Deliver the project by December 31, 2029 within the program budget. 2. Provide a third lane of travel for eastbound and westbound I-70 from Rocheport to Columbia. 3. Modernize I-70 while improving pavement, bridges, and interchanges to provide better traffic flow and movement of freight. 4. Minimize construction impacts with a focus on work zone safety, communication, and construction staging while maintaining mobility. 5. Provide expanded employment opportunities while developing and using a diverseworkforce. DBE- 7% construction activities , 10% professional services .
