I‑78 Westbound Bridge‑over‑I‑287 Limited‑Scope Final Design – TP‑845

The New Jersey Department of Transportation is soliciting a one‑step technical proposal (TP‑845) for limited‑scope final design of two bridge structures on I‑78 Westbound over I‑287 (Northbound and Southbound). The effort focuses on detailed design, structural analysis, utility coordination, traffic‑management planning, and environmental compliance, with construction to follow under a separate award. The firm must be pre‑qualified in the required disciplines (H‑1, B‑1, T‑1 at Level A) and satisfy extensive civil‑rights and ownership‑disclosure requirements. • Scope includes full deck replacement, super‑ and sub‑structure rehabilitation, bridge‑element repairs, corrosion mitigation, shoulder widening, guiderail upgrades, and a temporary bridge detour to maintain traffic flow. • Required deliverables: project manager resume, key staff resumes, organization chart, Primavera critical‑path schedule, and a four‑page narrative on key issues and construction staging. • Eligibility: firms must be pre‑qualified (NJ‑licensed PE or PLS) and meet certified‑firm diversity goals; all documentation must be uploaded to NJDOT BidExpress by 10 a.m. on 9 Sep 2026. • Estimated total project cost ≈ $13.3 M (design + construction); design‑only portion is anticipated to be 5‑10 % of construction cost, implying a design‑service fee in the low‑to‑mid‑six‑figure range.
