WSDOT Issues RFQ for $1 Billion Design-Build Project

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) issued on September 15, 2009 a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Design-Build firms for the SR 99 Bored Tunnel Project (also known as the Alaskan Way Tunnel project). The project cost is estimated at approximately $1 billion.

Qualifications are due on November 16, 2009. This is the first of two parts of the procurement process. In the second step, WSDOT will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) from the top rated short-listed firms. All firms submitting a responsive proposal will receive a $2 million stipend to help compensate them for the cost of responding to the RFP.
