This public advertisement constitutes the Authority's formal solicitation to determine the interest of qualified firms in the aforementioned project. This Request for Qualifications ("RFQ") is the first step of a 2-step best value procurement process for the Project. The second step will be a Request for Proposals ("RFP") to a Shortlist of the most highly qualified Prospective Proposer to this RFQ with the capability (technical, financial, and construction), capacity and experience necessary to undertake and successfully complete the Project as Design and Build, ("DB Team") entity. The proposed Mantua Boulevard Bridge Replacement ("MBR") Project ("Project") would provide for a new replacement bridge of existing highway bridge (Structure # 0850-160) on Mantua Boulevard (CR 676) over an existing Conrail line. The existing bridge was built in 1937 and does not meet current requirements. The Conrail line will require horizontal relocation to accommodate the Glassboro Camden Line (GCL, more information available at online. Relocation of the rail line will be accomplished in a later project. The Project should provide new 11' lanes, 9' shoulders, 6' sidewalks, guiderail replacement, lengthened bridge spans, reconstructed abutments, wing walls as needed, design of the roadway to 45 MPH, and provide all rail clearances required. It will be up to the DB Team to propose the best solution that meets the DRPA goals for the best price.
