RFQS # 6000003522 - GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE ("GWB") - MASTER AGREEMENTS FOR GENERAL CONSTRUCTION SERVICES ON A WORK ORDER BASIS - OPEN

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is soliciting qualifications under RFQS 6000003522 to establish Master Agreements with multiple firms for general construction services at the George Washington Bridge. These agreements will operate on a work order basis, focusing on priority rehabilitation and repair needs across five key areas: the main span, the GWB Bus Station, the New Jersey approaches, the New York Henry Hudson approaches, and the Trans-Manhattan Expressway. The scope of work includes structural steel and concrete repair, strengthening, replacement, and the provision of temporary supports and structural stabilization. Award decisions are based on a pass/fail evaluation of a firm's ability to meet strict personnel and performance requirements. Qualified firms must provide a Project Manager and Superintendent, each possessing at least 15 years of experience in construction on major transportation structures, with the Superintendent specifically experienced in highly congested urban areas. Evaluation factors also include past performance on Port Authority or PATH contracts, necessary licensing, and the absence of conflicts of interest. The Authority has established good faith outreach goals for participation, including 20 percent for Minority Business Enterprises, 10 percent for Women-owned Business Enterprises, and 3 percent for Service-disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses. Submissions must be delivered electronically by November 5, 2026, and must include the Agreement on Terms of Discussion, a Business Qualification Questionnaire, and a Contractor’s Qualification Statement. While the Master Agreement itself does not have a fixed value, individual work orders may require bid, performance, and payment bonds. Additionally, firms must comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and any applicable federal requirements if federal funding is utilized for specific work orders.
