Contract No, H32CN01 (“The Project”)
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (the "MBTA") hereby solicits Letters of Interest (LOI) from firms or teams (the "Design Build Entities") interested in providing Design Build (DB) services for the Project. The Project is being procured using a two-phase best-value DB procurement process pursuant to M.G.L. c. 149A, s. 14, et seq. and consistent with the MBTA's Design Build Procurement Procedure.
Project Description: The purpose of the North Station Draw One Bridge Replacement and Associated Track & Signal Upgrades Project is to replace the Draw One Bridge, the Signal Tower A, and associated MBTA track and signal infrastructure. The existing Draw One Bridge consists of two adjacent two-track bridge spans crossing the Charles River. Signal Tower A is located just north of the Draw One Bridge, east of the tracks. Due to the deteriorated condition of the building, a temporary control tower was built in 2018. Conduits below grade connect the temporary control tower to equipment in the adjacent Signal Tower A.
Estimated Construction Cost: $1 Billion
Submittal: Letters of Interests from Design Build Entities or firms interested in receiving a notice of the availability of the RFQ should be received by the MBTA by 11 AM on March 19, 2025.
A full detailed public announcement of the Request for Letters of Interest and submittal instructions is posted on Bid Express:
